Abstract :
In this paper a short introduction to the radio coverage system for railway tunnels realised on the line Prato-Bologna, is presented. GSM coverage measurements have been conducted on three different installations. For a better results interpretation the employed measurement execution and physic characteristics of the analysed tunnels are shown. Finally, results are discussed and some conclusions are drawn
