  • Abstract
    This paper first presents experimental results on the narrow band and wide band propagation characteristics in a typical subway tunnel, including the influence of narrowing, bends and masking effect. From this approach, the possibility of having a system ensuring simultaneously a communication link and a distance measurement is investigated. Trials have then confirmed the predicted results.
