• Description:
  The results of low-frequency (< 6 kHz) magnetic field noise measurements at underground coal mines are presented. A comparison of these results to measurements made 35 to 40 years ago suggests that the magnetic field noise has increased substantially (20-30 dB) since this period of time. The ambient noise level is an important factor in the operation of Through-The-Earth (TTE) communications systems, and the data presented herein are an essential consideration in the design of future TTE systems.
