Recently, two completely different worlds converged in our lab: the world of inexpensive radio transceivers and the world of costly wideband radio signal recording systems. At first, our good friends approached us to develop software for recording signals with a bandwidth of 500 MHz. Naturally, we couldn't refuse. After all, it was necessary to do this on the board of 'Instrumental Systems,' which I've known for a long time. In […]

Today we will talk about modern times, specifically about the approaches used in the 21st century to create braking systems for rolling stock, which will soon be celebrating its third decade. 1. Classification of brakes […]
The kinetic energy of the Sapsan at maximum speed exceeds 1500 megajoules. To come to a complete stop, all of it must be dissipated by the braking systems. I was asked to elaborate on this topic right here on Habr. There are quite a few overview articles published on railway topics, but this particular theme has not yet been covered in detail.
