Bridges that cross a railway's right-of-way are one of the most common obstacles for wave propagation along a highspeed railway. They can lead to poor coverage or handover failure but have been rarely investigated before. To describe the influence of this nonnegligible structure on propagation, measurements have been taken at 930 MHz along a real high-speed railway in China. Based on different mec...
