Summary
In this paper the authors perform a detailed analysis relative to the use of the UIC, International Union of Railways, cable as a data transmission channel for information on board regional trains. The analysis is performed evaluating the channel capacity and taking into account the constraints due to the signal integrity preservation of other signals carried by the cable during regular train operation. The analysis is performed modeling the cable as a multiconductor transmission line in the frequency range of interest, evaluating the crosstalk between all the cable's poles.
