Abstract

In this article, a radiation model is proposed to estimate the emission of the pantograph arc. An improved least-square regression analysis method is given for studying the pantograph arc characteristics at various sites on electrified railways and at various train speeds. The radiation model and the improved least-square method were both validated using the test data. The impact of arc on the airport instrument landing system (ILS) was investigated using electromagnetic wave propagation theory and the signal-to-noise ratio requirement of the ILS. We deduced the position limit of the articulated neutral section (ANS) and verified it through experiments. This research provides a theoretical foundation and technological methodology for civil aviation and high-speed railway electromagnetic compatibility studies as well as helps for airport site selection and high-speed railway route planning.
