Abstract

This paper presents herein experiments and calculations of electromagnetic induction between jointless track circuits (JTCs) and track-circuit readers (TCRs). The paper uses transmission-line theory to simulate JTC currents ahead of shunt points and electromagnetism to calculate voltages induced in the TCR antenna. Based on these calculations, the JTC-to-TCR range is defined. The paper derives expressions for the amplitude and phase of the voltage induced in the TCR antenna by the JTC current and uses them to quantitatively analyze the train control system. Experiments verify the conclusions reached based on the calculations.
