The PCT-RSABD-DP from PCTEL is a 5 GHz bi-directional train top antenna designed to survive high vibration rail installations, including roof mounting on locomotive and passenger cars. It delivers a gain of up to 13 dBi and has a VSWR of under 2.0:1. The antenna has high port-to-port isolation and dual feed, dual slant ± 45°, linear polarization with symmetrical patterns, maintaining the same pattern performance over each polarization. This bi-directional antenna communicates with wayside equipment in either direction from the train, providing reliable passenger Wi-Fi while minimizing installation and maintenance costs. It is ruggedized for high-vibration environments and meets EN50155 and AAR certification requirements for use in Europe and North America.
