This article deals with a concept of the microwire magnetometer for mapping of magnetic fields using Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) that have been developed at the Faculty of Aeronautics at the Technical University of Košice. A UAV equipped with this type of sensor will be used to map mineral deposits, archaeological sites, locate pipelines and survey in specific areas of interest where conventional systems cannot be used or are impractical. The system in development uses a magnetic microwire sensor based on the Residence Times Difference (RTD) principle of magnetic field measurement. With this type of a fluxgate magnetometer several nT sensitivity was achieved - by the prototype, however the sensitivity below nT is expected to be achieved based on the results of the initial tests.

Adaptive data processing in modern radar systems is standard approach. The classic kalman filter, extended kalman filter and many other applications are usually used for state estimate and radar target tracking. Signal and data processing technology improvement allows the more effective target tracking in real time. In this paper, we approach the structure and key features of the optimal particle filtering (PF). The optimization criteria for PF are proposed and analyzed. The dependence of mean square error on the number of particles during track prediction by particle filter is discussed. Using this dependence, we were able to determine the minimum required number of particles to correctly predict the trajectory of the target depending on its dynamics (trajectory complexity). The results of off-line real radar data processing are analyzed.

Satellite digital broadcast systems are used for high rate data communication in the Ku-band, but the attenuation induced by the atmospheric conditions is a significant propagation impairment at this band. This paper discusses results of an expert test in anechoic chamber simulated satellite broadcasting stream under rainy conditions in the controlled-laboratory environment and results of an expert test under real atmospheric conditions for the real satellite channel.

The paper deals with the numerical simulations of fiber Bragg gratings as promising tools for sensing applications mainly in weigh-in-motion. For higher transparency in infrared region of chalcogenide materials, in the paper are compared transfer characteristics of fiber Bragg gratings based on chalcogenide material As2s3 and conventional material SiO2. The paper is focused especially on pressure effects, but marginally also temperature and strain effects are mentioned. Is shown the effect of Bragg wavelength shift caused by the pressure. Bragg wavelength shift leads to change of transmission properties of FBGs. Since, the changes in the reflectance spectrum of the grating results to the changes in temporal properties of the grating, in the paper are presented the temporal properties depending on the pressure. Finally, in the paper is presented the possible using of FBGs for the weigh-in-motion applications.

This paper discusses the problems of the noninvasive diagnostic of high-voltage machines. The main role of the diagnostic is to predict an upcoming machine failure. Frequency response and frequency domain spectroscopy methods are studied in this paper. The methods are compared in terms of common instrumentation features. A development of a hardware platform intended for both methods is presented. The platform is evaluated in the terms of accuracy and compared with laboratory instrumentation. The results of the evaluation showed the proposed solution is able to implement both methods and have a measurement accuracy comparable with market available instruments implementing only one method.

The aim of the research presented here is to create an application that simulates the process of the mezzotint technique. It is a gravure printing technique that is time consuming, whole process is hand-made, and sharp metal tools are used. Such a process involves the creation of a plate that has a design on surface. Subsequently, the surface must be dyed and discolored to create shading. The last step is to squeeze the color on the paper. In our simulation process, we have achieved the following new results: we modeled the plate creation process using virtual tools, cleaning with a rag, printing, the diffusion, and drying process of the ink during the printing process.
