Abstract

This paper presents the results of path loss measurements in "Zhengzhou-Xi'an" high-speed railway environment at 930 MHz band. A transmitter directional antenna height of 20~30 meters above the rail surface and a receiver omni-directional antenna height of 3.5 meters were used on the high-speed viaducts height of 10~30 meters above the ground. An automatic acquisition system was utilized in the measurements. The model makes distinctions among different terrain. The results of measurements provide practical values for path loss exponent and standard deviation of shadowing affected by the viaduct factor in suburban, open area, mountain area and urban propagation regions where the high-speed trains travel. Based on the measurement data, the empirical path loss model was developed, which could be used for predicting the path loss for the future railway communication systems, and provide the facilities for network optimization.
