Abstract :
Communication systems for high-speed ground vehicles which employ coupled surface waveguides are considered in this paper. We determine communication errors resulting from AM and FM transmission for the coupling configuration of two randomly separated Goubau lines as a function of the various system parameters. Results are given which indicate that filtering of the transmitted and received signals leads to enhanced communications.
