    Specially designed antennas are placed on locomotives and along tracks to provide continuous wireless communication between trains and the control room for positive train control systems. These antennas receive GPS signals to track train location and allow bidirectional data transmission between trains and the dispatch center for tracking and backhaul communications. Omnidirectional and offset dipole antennas on locomotives support these communication functions.

    Antennas for Positive Train Control (PTC) System

    Communications Network

    GPS Satellite transmit signals from antenna to the trains location

    Control Room and Dispatching System

    Specially designed antennas are placed on the locomotive and at regular intervals trackside to provide a continuous wireless data link with the control center

    antennas are required for locomotive placement to support tracking

    Omnidirectional (left) and offset dipoles (right) serve as data receptors for the dispatch control center

    for backhaul communications
