What is METAPHORT?
METAPHORT is an exploratory research project addressing the problem of integration of trainborne antennas and reduction of EMI between on-board systems in the railway environment. The final aim is to propose metamaterial antenna solutions for direct integration in the railway vehicle body. The electromagnetic phenomena to be accounted for in METAPHORT are depicted below and detailled in the inset
The objective of METAPHORT is to propose…
-
Design methodologies for the metamaterial antennas for the railway environment
Hybrid electromagnetic numerical models for railway applications,
Measurement set-ups for the EM caracterization of the railway environment and complex materials,
Test means for functionnal testing of sub-systems and antennas in complex environment.
