In this paper, a fast prediction model of the electromagnetic response of the LTE-R (Long Term Evolution for Railway) communication system based on a cascade neural network is developed to quickly analyze the impact of pantograph arcing on the LTE-R system during vehicle operation. In order to obtain the coupling disturbance level of the LTE-R antenna port, this model uses the cascade neural network based on the PSO-BP (Particle Swarm Optimization of Back Propagation Neural Network) algorithm to quickly solve the coupling coefficient of the pantograph arcing measurement probe and the antenna port. A two-stage BP neural network model is used to train both the simulation data and measurement data, and the results are validated by field tests. Finally, the antenna port coupling interference is added to the LTE-R system to analyze the impact of pantograph arcing on the quality of communication transmission. Analysis and tests demonstrate that pantograph arcing can lead to an increase in the BLER of LTE-R systems at 400 MHz, affecting system performance and transmission efficiency.
