Abstract
A vehicle guideway is proposed as a communication channel for rapid transit systems. A numerical method for analyzing the guideway as a surface waveguide is developed and applied to a model of a rail augmented by a lossy dielectric strip resting on a lossy ground. The results for the complex propagation constant demonstrate the feasibility of this proposal.
