Abstract

The transient electromagnetic field emissions from the pantograph electric arc captured by a GSM-R antenna mounted on roof top were recorded and used to reproduce the disturbance on a test bench for the evaluation of the Quality of Service under controlled conditions. The arrangement of the test setup and the characteristics of used equipment are presented. The parameters that characterize the noise coupled onto the GSM-R channel are put in relationship with QoS indexes. Finally, the results obtained from preliminary tests are reported.
