Parametric Study of Radio Propagation in Railways Based on Ray-Tracing Simulations

In this work the RF propagation has been characterized first for a 5G Wireless Train Backbone, based on a parametric simulation model of a train. Different parameters have been changed to study their effect on the RF propagation. According to these results, some recommendations are made. The antenna propagation has also been studied in a model for the Wireless Consist Network.
