Abstract
A communication system for communication between at least one vehicle guided along a predefined movement path and a stationary station using a slotted waveguide which extends parallel to the movement path of the vehicle and into which at least one antenna connected to a transceiver unit of the stationary station and at least one antenna of the vehicle project. The antenna of the vehicle is moved in the longitudinal direction of the slotted waveguide with movement of the vehicle. The slotted waveguide includes at least two sections separated from one another by a respective gap. At least one antenna projecting into the respective section is provided for each section of the slotted waveguide. Two neighboring antennas projecting into different sections of the slotted waveguide are coupled via a coupling device both to a common transceiver unit of the stationary station and to one another.
