Radar Altimeter for Ultralight Aircraft
Absolon, Marek ; Zemčík, Pavel (referee) ; Maršík, Lukáš (advisor)
The main topic of this paper is a radar ranging for use in an aircraft altitude measurement. This should help beginner pilots in practicing landing and take off. To achieve this aim, we chose to use continuous-wave radars with frequency modulation (FMCW). Our solution is based on linear frequency modulation method using triangular modulation pattern. During the testing, it was found out, that radars with 24 GHz bandwidth have a range resolution from 1 meter (depending on modulation depth) to 13 metres. This range is sufficient for usage in training of takeoffs and landings, which is the real purpose of this paper. Another good finding is, that during takeoff and landing, there is minimal occurrence of doppler frequencies. Final algorithm works on principle of two currently processed spectrums, which are substracted. Afterwards, found peaks are validated on current spectrum.

Narrowband PLC modem
Novák, Pavel ; Koton, Jaroslav (referee) ; Mlýnek, Petr (advisor)
The theses is focused on the use of PLC technology. The aim of the thesis is creating device which communicates in a narrowband transmission frequency band. Transmission of communication between plc elements runs through the low voltage distribution network. The frequency and phase modulations are used in order to change the character of data signal. Transmitter and receiver parameters are subjects to the CENELEC standard. The theses gives more attention to the area of hardware build communication element rather than the area of programming.

Experimental musical instrument, combining a sampler based on the tape principle and the principle of frequency modulation
Hofr, Šimon ; Indrák, Michal (referee) ; Dlouhý, Dan (advisor)
The aim of the bachelor thesis is to design and implement an experimental mechanical-electric musical instrument specified as a sampler on the magnetophonic principle, whose sound is frequency modulated. In the theoretical introduction I will describe the basic classification of musical instruments and present examples from selected groups that are close to the proposed sampler. The second chapter is devoted to types of synthesis, of which frequency modulation is the central one. The third chapter describes the design of the sampler form and its circuitry. The fourth chapter discusses the realisation and construction findings.

Respiration rate estimation using PPG signal
Machalová, Marie ; Kozumplík, Jiří (referee) ; Králík, Martin (advisor)
The thesis deals with the estimation of breathing rate from the PPG signal. The first part is theoretical, it deals with the anatomy and physiology of the circulatory and respiratory systems. It also focuses on methods of monitoring these systems. Describes the PPG signal, its acquisition methods and methods for estimating the breathing rate. In next section, there is an introduction to the MESA database, which provides the measured PPG signals. The practical part describes the application of the used methods, their results and validation of the BIDMC database.The method with the smallest average deviation is the drift-based extraction method, with a deviation of 0.57 breaths per minute.

Experimental Software Synthesizer and Sequencer
Fadieiev, Heorhii ; Indrák, Michal (referee) ; Dlouhý, Dan (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is devoted to an experimental software synthesizer and sequencer. Its main goal is the realization of an experimental electroacoustic musical instrument based on a design created within the semestral thesis. The unique characteristic of this synthesizer is the possibility of assigning to each tone a different waveform from the field of subtractive synthesis, but also amplitude and frequency modulation, as well as the possibility of creating a complicated rhythmic structure. The work is divided into several parts. The first one deals with the collection of theoretical knowledge focused on the topic of sound synthesis, MIDI and software program Max. The second part of the work presents the design of an experimental instrument taking into account the block diagram of the synthesizer, its sequencer and generator. The next part of the work deals with the implementation of the instrument, describes its appearance, GUI, data storage in its memory and analyzes the patch of the synthesizer. The last part describes practical experience and general characteristics of the resulting instrument.

Breathing Rate Estimation from the ECG and PPG Signals
Blaude, Ondřej ; Němcová, Andrea (referee) ; Kozumplík, Jiří (advisor)
This bachelor’s thesis is focused on breath rate estimation. In this thesis, methods of breath rate estimation from the ECG and PPG signal are described and implemented. In the first two chapters the basics of ECG measurements are described, as well as the measurements of the respiratory system activity and the PPG signal. The third chapter then describes the ECG/PPG-derived respiratory signal estimation methods, later on the breath rate determination. In the fourth chapter, chosen methods are implemented and the created algorithms are applied on real data from the BIDMC database.

Experimental Hardware Musical Instrument Based on FM Synthesis Controlled by a Contactless Controller
Vejvoda, Zdeněk ; Jirásek, Ondřej (referee) ; Dlouhý, Dan (advisor)
The focus of this bachelor thesis was a design and consequently an assembly of an experimental analog synthesizer. The beginning of the theoretical framework presents the classification of the electroacoustic instruments into subgroups with an emphasis on those which were essential for both the inspiration of the design and for the historical development itself. The subsequent chapter explores the sound synthesis methods and their musical attributes. Afterwards, particular fundamental personae of the history of experimenting with sound and music are mentioned, whose ideas were extracted for the purpose of designing this instrument. The practical part explains the motivation which was present during the work and develops it into a full circuit design. The creative process is supported by explanation of attached diagrams and required calculations. In connclusion, the assembled prototype is presented on a printed circuit board.

Radar Active Cruise Control
Rous, Petr ; Široký, Adam (referee) ; Maršík, Lukáš (advisor)
This bachelor thesis is dedicated to radar active cruise control. The aim of the work is to implement program logic of the adaptive cruise control system. It describes basic techniques of radar signal processing as well as various difficulties during this process. It is also concerned with methods used for radar objects detection. Withing the work, two different radar modules are compared for their suitability to use as sensors of active cruise control. Finally, implemented system is tested using data collected in real road transport.
