Method for signal Analog-to-Event-to-Digital conversion using periodic sampling and precise event timing is described. It is more suitable for analogue information transmission of pulse width modulated signals with precise event timing based demodulation than the referred to earlier considered methods of this type and it has also other advantages. This method is described as an application widening the functional capabilities of the high-performance Event Timer A033-ET system.

We propose the model of radio channel for ADS-B signal reception at the ground area of airport, which is typical by interference caused by multipath propagation. The model is based on a tapped delay line (TDL) model. The source data for model parameters estimation are obtained by measurements at Prague Vaclav Havel airport. We compare simulated results based on proposed model with experimental measurements.

This paper describes a time domain channel sounder based on pseudorandom binary sequences. The channel sounder system consists of several off-the-shelf laboratory instruments connected together and controlled from PC. Frequency band of interest is the unlicensed ultra wide band, 3-11 GHz. The system's parameters are discussed and compared to conventional solution, which uses vector network analyzer (VNA). Crucial feature of the proposed system is fast measurement speed. Example measurements are provided and compared to the measurements performed using the VNA.

Compared matrix converter with indirect frequency converter, the lacking DC-link accumulation element is its cardinal advantage in terms of volume and weight. On the other hand, in case of matrix converter the control system is much more complex. In the design of matrix converter switching pulse sequence generation the complicated IGBT's commutation process as well as modern sophisticated modulation strategies must be taken into account. System reliability is dependent on the selected commutation algorithm and the proposed modulation strategy significantly affects the maximal reachable output voltage amplitude and thus the whole connected drive dynamics. Times of commutation, semiconductor device minimal switch-on and switch-off times play the essential role, too.

The effort to use existing communication systems as radars and vice versa has been there since the last great war. The current work describes a new way to use the existing communication systems to sense the change in the environment. This kind of radar, named as CommSens by the author, can be used in tasks like crop growth monitoring, disaster monitoring, sea state monitoring etc. The key to this technology lies in the use of pilot signal in the communication signal frames to monitor the channel and thereby estimate the change in the channel state.

The RLCG meter is usually constructed from separate analogue oscillator as a source of test signal and two phase detectors that obtain real and imaginary part. In some cases the real and imaginary parts are calculated by using DFT (Discrete Fourier Transform). More sophisticate solution is described in this paper. Proposed solution is based on fully digital conception, when test signal is generated in digital form and this signal (in the same form) is simply used for phase detection.

This paper presents the comparison of five commonly used methods for fundamental frequency detection in speech signal, exactly in vocal and melodic instrument signals. The efficiency of chosen method is verified on known set of musical notes performed by bass clarinet. The highest efficiency in fundamental frequency detection was reached by AutoCorrelation (ACF) and Modified AutoCorrelation (MACF) functions. Self-repairing algorithm is also described in this paper and it can be defined as a useful tool for correction of inaccurately found fundamental frequencies related to relevant musical notes. For correct pitch detection and self-repairing algorithm function, as the most appropriate segment length can be set as a half value of the shortest known musical note in analysed signal. Due to high efficiency and low computational preformance, the combination of ACF, MACF respectively, with self-repairing algorithm supplemented by some fundamental frequency changing method can be used as an effective almost real-time tool for tuning and other musical applications.

Estimators for polynomial regression coefficients in case when correlation function of observation noise is not completely known have been considered. It was shown that sufficient statistics to define i-th order regression coefficient with respect to equidistantly spaced samples are finite differences of the same order. The major attention was paid to research into roundoff noises influence on precision of polynomial regression coefficients computation.

This paper reviews sustainable developments and new trends in process visualization methods - especially the use for the RFID (radio frequency identification system) technology. Starting from the motivation for developing a new process visualization method named Glauto process chain paradigm in chapter I. Afterwards is be found an overview about existing process visualization methods. The next chapter introduces the research objective for the Glauto method and defines the position in the existing landscape of methods for process visualization. Several experts' opinions by a survey to several companies and research facilities, which are using process modeling and - analyzing methods, are used as a basis to develop the new method. Afterwards the procedure of process recording with Glauto as well as process types and key figures for Glauto will be defined. Next is to be found a sample for process visualization with Glauto. It contains the operation block diagrams as well as basic operations, connecting- and logic symbols.

In this paper, a new blind symbol timing and frequency offset estimation algorithm is proposed for Orthogonal Frequency Division Multiplexing (OFDM) systems in multipath fading channels. The method utilizes the redundant information contained in the cyclic prefix and is suitable within the acquisition as well as tracking phase of an OFDM receiver. The method is based on a new timing function which allows to estimate jointly the symbol timing offset, the frequency offset as well as the channel dispersion. In order to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method, the most recent blind synchronization algorithms in the literature are compared with the new procedure under different realistic frequency-selective fading channel conditions.
