The theory of characteristic modes is a very useful tool to get physical insight into antenna behavior. It is possible to easily obtain resonant frequencies, modal radiation Q or bandwidth, modal currents and modal radiation patterns. The paper is intended to study well known linear antennas under this new point of view.

This paper deals with the modeling of arbitrary oriented interconnection structures with the method of partial elements regarding EMC simulations of power electronics. 1D and 2D PEEC models were developed, implemented and tested as well in the simulation tool Ansoft Simplorerreg as in SPICE. An alternative approach for the PEEC modeling is used to overcome the huge simulation effort in real conductor arrangements because of the high number of inductive and ca-pacitive couplings. The coupling matrices of this kind of PEEC models are diagonal dominant and matrix sparsification by truncation methods can be used without loss of passivity of the interconnections. The application of the developed PEEC models is shown for two examples.

In this paper, we describe a problem of mitigating a multiple-access interference (MAI) and a channel disturbance in DS-CDMA technology. The receiver is based on a blind algorithm, which does not need any training sequence, or any information about the channel. Our simulations are oriented on a land mobile communications, where the channel is changing through the time. Proposed channel consists of three states. The comparison of effectiveness between the blind MOE algorithm and conventional detection using computer simulations is demonstrated and the experimental results of image transmission over 3-states channel using blind detection are presented.

A medium-power two-stage transistor microwave amplifier for frequency band of 12 to 18 GHz using eight packaged HEMTs has been designed and developed. Gain over 16 dB, output power P-1 db > 22 dBm and return loss better than 10 dB both on the input and output has been achieved in the whole band. The input and output are DC grounded to protect the amplifier from electrostatic discharge (ESD). Mutually linked AWR microwave office circuit simulator, 3D EM field simulator CST microwave studio and precise small-signal s-parameters vector measurements were used for the design.

This investigation was stimulated by the search for a simple and easy-to-apply method for measuring the movement of a car safety belt under a crash. Conventional methods would consist of gluing an incremental barcode-like strip on the belt, observing it with a reflective optical sensor, and counting the periods occurring while the belt is pulled out. However, as the woven structure of the belt constitutes a quite well-defined periodic texture by itself, the question arises if it is possible to determine the velocity from observing this. The method would then require imaging the texture to a suitably designed transmitting reference mask and evaluating the periodical signal observed behind the mask while the belt is moving. Mathematically, the proposed procedure can be called an optical spatial filter (OSF) technique. Of course, when applying OSF technique for velocity measurements of periodic objects it is vital to adapt the spatial filter closely to the moving object. While objects with a random surface or texture are quite easy to deal with, those with a periodic surface need special consideration. This investigation is aimed to explain the necessary considerations and to present techniques for suitably designing optical spatial filters.

The paper deals with principles of so-called virtual anechoic room, which presents an economical and accessible possibility of ambient signal elimination in open field test site (OFTS) EMI measurement. Some variants of easy and efficient EM ambient cancellation are described and some measurement examples are presented in the article. In general, the radiated and conducted EM measurement based on principle of virtual anechoic room performs sufficiently accurate results without the need of dedicated and cost expensive OFTS or anechoic chamber.

The paper describes a simulation model of a software and hardware recovery circuit. Performance of both models is compared and drawbacks of software recovery are discussed. To model different link conditions, signal source and data path models were created (to model jitter and noise of received signal). All simulations were performed in the Mentor Graphic's SystemVision 4.4 environment using VHDL-AMS models of signal source, data path and recovery circuits. The software recovery algorithm is written in synthesizable subset of VHDL and can be directly used as a part of an FPGA design.

In the first part, types of the transmission channels, the theoretic planning of the signal coverage and causes of simulating of ideal transmission channels are shown. The next part deals with the types of errors and the causes of errors in the transmission channel. This enumeration includes the computing of some error parameters. The last part of the article deals with a possible multi-path propagation of the digital television signal from transmitter to receiver. There is briefly explained a prevention of multipath reception by using a guard interval.
