INSTRUMENTATION FOR RECEIVING ELECTROMAGNETIC NOISE BELOW 3000 CPS

The frequency range studied is divided into three bands: the micropulsation band, which extends up to approximately 5 cps and uses quasi-DC receiving systems; the low ELF or Schumann band between approximately 2 cps and the power-line frequency of 50 or 60 cps; and the band which commences at as low...

Description
Summary:The frequency range studied is divided into three bands: the micropulsation band, which extends up to approximately 5 cps and uses quasi-DC receiving systems; the low ELF or Schumann band between approximately 2 cps and the power-line frequency of 50 or 60 cps; and the band which commences at as low a frequency as is consistent with interference from the power line and its harmonics and extends up to a few tens of kilocycles. Each of these bands appears to have its own characteristics as far as spectral level, noise characteristics and siting problems are concerned, and the paper has been divided accordingly. Instrumentation is discussed in detail, and some general factors influencing the design and siting of equipment are reviewed. Pub. in mono.
