Radio interference detection and screening system for locomotive control unit radios

摘要

A radio interference detection and screening system for on-locomotive testing of Locomotive Control Unit (LCU) radios. To eliminate bit errors during LCU sensitivity performance testing (also known as Bit Error Rate (BER) testing), the system of the present invention detects interfering transmission signals which may cause such bit errors, and suspends the LCU sensitivity performance testing during the periods of such detected interfering transmissions. Once the interfering transmissions are no longer detected by the system of the present invention, the LCU then resumes the LCU sensitivity performance testing.
