Specified Emission Limits (9 kHz to 1 GHz)


EN 50121-2: Railway Applications -
Part 2: Emission of the Whole Railway
System to the Outside World

• Sets the Emission Limits from the whole railway system


that including EMU and Traction Substation etc.
• Describes the Emission Measurement Method
• Gives cartography values for the fields most frequently
encountered

Test Setup for Emission Measurements Method of Emission Measurement


(300 MHz to 1 GHz) • Locations for tests
• Frequency range
• Bandwidth
• Antenna positions
• Conversion of results if not measured at 10m
• Measuring scales
• Statistical treatment
• Frequency selection
• Railway conditions
- Weather
- Speed, Traction Power
- Multiple sources from remote trains
11 • Number of traction vehicles per train 12

Conversion Formula For example:

E10 = Ex + n x 20 log10 (D/10) If the measurement distance is changed from 10m to 3m;

Where: E10 is the value at 10m and E10 = 30 dBuV/m (at 10m for 1GHz measurement);

Ex is the measured value at D m


then, 30 = Ex + (1)x(20) log10(3/10)
n is a factor taken from the table below.
therefore, Ex = 40 dBuV/m.
Frequency range (MHz) n
0.15 - 0.4 1.8
0.4 - 1.6 1.65
1.6 - 110 1.2
110 - 1000 1
