• Abstract:
  This report is an account of investigations and analyses undertaken for the Office of High Speed Ground Transportation (OHSGT), beginning in July of 1970, which relate to communications systems for high speed ground vehicles. The authorized scope of the effort was at the rate of one man-year. The first task undertaken was a survey of work carried out by OHSGT contractors and others since 1968. Subsequently, specific aspects of the problem were explored in greater detail, and reports were prepared on the following: (a) Mechanical Properties of Long Rigid Lines (Section 2); (b) Electromagnetic Properties of Surface Wave Couplers (Section 3); (c) Electromagnetic Properties of Bends in Surface Wave Lines (Section 4); (d) Propagation Properties of a Trench Line (Section 5); and (e) Pulse Code Modulation for Long Line Communications (Section 6).
