Division 4.3.2.4 Position of Control-Command On-board Antennae

The position of the Eurobalise and Euroloop antennae on the rolling stock shall be such that reliable data communication is assured at the extremes of the track geometry capable of being traversed by the rolling stock. The movement and behaviour of the rolling stock shall be taken into account. The Control-Command Basic Parameter is described in section 4.2.2 (On-board ETCS functionality).

This interface is relevant to Class A system. Requirements for Class B ATP/ATC systems are defined by the appropriate Member State (see Annex B).

The position of the GSM R antenna on the roof of vehicles is mainly dependent on measurements that have to be carried out for any type of vehicle taking into account also the position of other (new or existing) antennas. Under test conditions the output of the antenna has to comply with the requirements described in section 4.2.5 (ETCS and EIRENE air gap interfaces). The test conditions are also described in section 4.2.5 (ETCS and EIRENE air gap interfaces).
