Abstract :
This paper deals with the electromagnetic (EM) disturbances which can affect the capability of the GSM-R communication system. It is based on a large number of data collected during measurement campaigns on board moving trains. On the one hand, the nature of disturbances received by the GSM-R antenna on board are classified and analyzed in order to extract a risk analysis concerning the noise level which can be produced on the GSM-R frequency channels. On the other hand, GSM-R coverage level measured on board train will also be presented and confronted with the noise level observed.
