Abstract:
An electrically conductive assembly for providing a low electrical resistance contact between an antenna and the corrugated roof of a train. The assembly comprises a gel and skeletal gasket member which has an electrically conductive skeleton encapsulated in a tacky gel. Multiple foam and gel members, typically made up of compressible at least partially open cell foam, are laid in the troughs and are thick enough, such that the top surface of the foam and gel members is about equal to or slightly higher than the top surfaces of the ridges of the corrugated train roof. The antenna is then laid atop the gel and gasket member and bolted to the roof with fasteners in such a manner that the tacky flowable gel at least partially squeezes out the edges of the gel and gasket member as the antenna is compressed downward while the fasteners are snugged up. This compression allows the electrically conductive skeletal member to provide contact between the antenna and the roof, the roof typically metallic and that results in a decrease of EMI (electromagnetic interference).
