Acquisition of EM propagation parameters onboard trains at UHF frequencies

This paper reports numerical results for the characterization of the propagation channel in a train. Since the availability of a train to carry out measurements is not always easy, particularly when many changes must be done, a simulation tool provides a useful and reliable mean for the evaluation of the propagation characteristics of this complex and highly fluctuating channel. In order to benefit from previous results, the various existing softwares for complex electromagnetic fields environments simulations were fully searched and one that seems best suited has been retained for these computations. The results presented here are original, preliminaries and our approach provides a basis for study the propagation of waves in a very complex environment consisting of different electromagnetic fields like a train.
