PROPAGATION OF RADIO WAVES. CLASSIFICATION OF RAILWAY TERRAIN FOR RADIO PROPAGATION

The report gives reasons for the advantages to be derived from constructing basic radio propagation curves for areas containing railway structures and deals with the principles of this process. It also gives a detailed classification of the types of terrain, which will latter be used as a basis for further work. Classification deals separately with stations, open routes and tunnels. Results for each of these types are given in the shape of tables. The use of the classifications for the planning of radio links, before the final propagation curves are produced, is facilitated by a list of publications concerned with radio propagation which is also included in this report.
