An antenna array for a body panel of a locomotive is described having a base support including at least a pair of elongated, parallel structures forming a channel on the body- panel of the locomotive cab. A plurality of removable plates are affixed to the elongated parallel structures for mounting an antenna on each of the removable plates, thereby allowing wiring from each antenna to extend from Us respective removable plate through the channel formed by the base support. A junction box situated near the base support forms an enclosure about an aperture formed in the body panel of the locomotive. The junction box includes a plurality of interconnects for connecting wiring of each antenna to wiring of a device in the locomotive. In one embodiment, the junction box is integral to the base support. The integral junction box, base support arrangement, may further include a lip formed about Us periphery in which a cover mounted thereon. In accordance with another aspect of the present invention, an antenna array is provided for a body panel of a locomotive having a base support including a base support having a plurality of pillars on the body panel of the locomotive cab and a plurality of removable plates being supported by the pillars on the base support for mounting an antenna on each of the removable plates.

L'invention porte sur un réseau d'antennes pour un panneau de corps d'une locomotive, ayant un support de base comprenant au moins une paire de structures parallèles, allongées, qui forment un canal sur le panneau de corps de la cabine de locomotive. Une pluralité de plaques amovibles sont fixées aux structures parallèles allongées pour le montage d'une antenne sur chacune des plaques amovibles, permettant ainsi au câblage de chaque antenne de s'étendre à partir de sa plaque amovible respective à travers le canal formé par le support de base. Une boîte de raccordement située à proximité du support de base forme une enceinte autour d'une ouverture pratiquée dans le panneau de corps de la locomotive. La boîte de raccordement comprend une pluralité d'interconnexions pour connecter le câblage de chaque antenne à un câblage d'un dispositif dans la locomotive. Dans un mode de réalisation, la boîte de raccordement est d'un seul tenant avec le support de base. L'agencement boîte de raccordement et support de base d'un seul tenant peut en outre comprendre une lèvre formée autour de sa périphérie où un couvercle est monté sur celle-ci. Selon un autre aspect, un réseau d'antennes est prévu pour un panneau de corps d'une locomotive ayant un support de base comprenant un support de base à pluralité de piliers sur le panneau de corps de la cabine de locomotive et à pluralité de plaques amovibles supportées par les piliers sur le support de base, pour le montage d'une antenne sur chacune des plaques amovibles.
