The system is used in railway systems. The present document applies to the following equipment: 1) The On-Board Equipment (OBE) receiving the Euroloop signal and the OBE comprises a receiver fitted with a dedicated antenna. 2) The Track-Side Equipment (Euroloop) transmitting the Euroloop signal that is always installed in an inner or outer foot of a rail. The Euroloop transmission system operates in frequency bands listed in table 1 in accordance with the EC Decision 2013/752/EU [i.2], and ERC Recommendation 70-03 [i.3], annex 4. These radio equipment types are capable of operating at the following frequencies as given below in table 1. Table 1: Radio communications frequencies
Radio communications frequencies OBE receive frequency band 11,1 -16,0 MHz OBE transmit frequency band 27,09 - 27,10 MHz Euroloop receiver frequency band 27,09 - 27,10 MHz Euroloop transmit frequency band 11,1 -16,0 MHz Euroloop transmit modulation BPSK, DSSS chip rate 4,516 MHz

dedicated antenna: removable antenna supplied and tested with the radio equipment, designed as an indispensable part
of the equipment
eurobalise: wayside transmission unit that uses the magnetic transponder technology

3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
dedicated antenna: removable antenna supplied and tested with the radio equipment, designed as an indispensable part
of the equipment
eurobalise: wayside transmission unit that uses the magnetic transponder technology
NOTE: Its main function is to transmit and/or receive signals through the air gap. The Eurobalise is a single
device mounted on the track, which communicates with a train passing over it.
euroloop: wayside transmission unit that uses the magnetic transmission technology
NOTE: Its main function is to transmit signals through the air gap. The Euroloop is a single device mounted on
the track, which communicates with a train passing over it.
magnetic transmission technology: method that uses magnetic coupling in the air gap between a transmitter and a
receiver
NOTE: In the Euroloop transmission system context, it considers systems using the band 11,1 - 16,0 MHz for
Uplink (track to train) transmission.
rf carrier: fixed radio frequency prior to modulation
uplink: transmission link from the Euroloop to the OBE

4 Technical requirements specifications
4.1 Environmental profile
The technical requirements of the present document apply under the environmental profile for operation of the
equipment, which shall be declared by the manufacturer. The equipment shall comply with all the technical
requirements of the present document at all times when operating within the boundary limits of the declared operational
environmental profile.
4.2 Transmitter conformance requirements
4.2.1 OBE TX field strength and Transmitter mask
4.2.1.1 Applicability
This test only applies to the OBE. The radiated H-field mask is defined in the direction of maximum field strength
under specified conditions of measurement.
NOTE: Eurobalise-OBE tele-powering is used for wake-up of the Euroloop.
4.2.1.2 Limits
The limits of figure 1 (expressed in dBµA/m at a distance of 10 m) shall not be exceeded.

4.2.1.3 Conformance
The conformance test suite for OBE transmitter mask shall be as defined in clause 6.1.1 of the present document.
4.2.1.4 Maximum Allowable Measurement Uncertainty
See table 5 in clause 5.3.
4.2.2 OBE unwanted emissions
4.2.2.1 Applicability
This test only applies to the OBE. Unwanted emissions consist of out-of-band and spurious emissions outside the
frequency range 27,095 MHz ± 500 kHz as defined in clause 4.2.1.2.
NOTE: Eurobalise-OBE tele-powering is used for wake-up of the Euroloop.
4.2.2.2 Limits
The limits in table 2 (expressed in dBµA/m at a distance of 10 m for frequencies below 30 MHz and expressed in
dBµV/m at a distance of 10 m for frequencies equal or greater than 30 MHz) shall not be exceeded.
Table 2: OBE unwanted emissions limits
Frequency: (f) Limit
44 dBµA/m at 9 kHz decreasing with logarithm of
9 kHz ≤ f < 150 kHz
frequency to 19 dBµA/m at 150 kHz
54 dBµA/m at 150 kHz decreasing with logarithm of
150 kHz ≤ f < 30 MHz
frequency to 4 dBµA/m at 30 MHz
79 dBµV/m at 30 MHz decreasing with logarithm of
30 MHz ≤ f ≤ 1 GHz
frequency to 54 dBµV/m at 1 GHz
NOTE: The values are based on the assumption that the system operates in
a rail environment installed below a rail vehicle. The values are
extracted from the EMC limits for rail equipment given in figure 1
(150 kHz to 1 GHz) and figure C.1 (below 150 kHz) of CENELEC
EN 50121-2:2015 [i.7]. The most stringent EMC limits (Category C)
decreased by 6 dB have been chosen for the limits in clause 4.2.2.2
table 2.
