Surface waves for vehicular communications
R. FitzGerrell, L.L. Haidle, J.E. Partch · 1969
A one-year study indicates that low cost, excellent coupling characteristics, and ability to serve vehicles on two closely spaced guideways make the Goubau surface-wave transmission fine an attractive solution to the high-speed ground transportation communications problem. Further testing in a real environment should be undertaken to prove or disprove the encouraging results obtained experimentally with the 918-ft prototype line used in this study.
