One of the most important mandates in rail safety is the PTC ACSES in North America. In order to prevent train-to-train collisions and derailments caused by excessive speeding, as well and unauthorised train movements, the Congressional mandate is to have all PTC ACSES systems fully compliant by the 31st of December, 2020. It is crucial for railways to perform tests to ensure full compliance. Anritsu’s LMR Master S412E high-performance receiver/spectrum analyzer is the perfect instrument to validate PTC ACSES deployments as well as troubleshoot and maintain them to ensure they are working properly. With its multi-function capabilities, the LMR Master S412E solution has various tools available to help system engineers validate their PTC ACSES signal coverage and quality as well as provide the benefit of a signal generator to verify radio sensitivity.
