Combination frequency loop coupling for railway track signalling

摘要

An audio frequency (AF) track circuit whereby a railway track tuned loop transmitter operating in a dual resonant mode, for handling, two signal frequencies, can be coupled to the rails. Each frequency is conducted through a tuning unit having series and parallel branches tuned to each frequency. The track circuit using the tuned loop transmitter eliminates DC return current imbalance effects while maintaining suitably high track circuit shunting sensitivity.
