• Description:
  Electronic devices and systems used to enhance miner safety and health as well as improve production processes are becoming commonplace in underground mines. The ability of these devices and systems to function properly in each other's presence, and in the presence of legacy electrical systems, in the unique environments of underground mines is not entirely understood. To better understand possible electromagnetic compatibility issues of critical mine electronic devices and systems, researchers from the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health (NIOSH) are conducting surveys of electromagnetic emissions in underground mines. This paper presents the design of a novel system to measure the superposition of electromagnetic electric fields generated by different sources in underground mines from 10 kHz to 6 GHz-a system which has applications in other industrial settings.
