Spatial audio processing of a spherical microphone array
Tomešek, Jiří ; Honzík,, Petr (referee) ; Liska, Matej (advisor)
The diploma thesis focuses on the processing of spatial sound from a spherical microphone array, their properties, and the principles of capturing. It further explains the principles of operation of MEMS microphones and subsequent implementation. The interface between the microphone array and the computer is created using a programmable gate array along with a USB converter. The thesis outlines a suitable method for software implementation for communication, control, and interconnection of specific hardware. The implementation of individual functionalities was carried out and explained using the VHDL programming language in an FPGA. Data reception from the microphones via a TDM interface, control logic, and communication between the FPGA and the computer through an FTDI interface were implemented. Within the thesis, an application was also created in the Matlab environment for controlling the FPGA and processing data from the microphones, including a graphical user interface. The application implements the ambisonics method and a method for processing the audio signal using spatial filtering.

Telemetry for Dragon IV Formula
Bezdíček, Jan ; Petrlík, Jiří (referee) ; Šimek, Václav (advisor)
The aim of this master's thesis was to design and construct complete telemetry system for the student formula Dragon IV constructed for international Formula Student competition. At first, the work deals with the measurement of the physical quantities, telemetry system and automotive sensors of the formula, their mutual communication and communication with the CAN bus. It also describes the procedure of hardware design including choosing right inertial sensors and a GPS module and their using in telemetry system. The work contains materials for production of two-layer printed circuit board extending the microcomputer BeagleBone Black on the inertial sensors and the GPS module. The bigger part of the telemetry system is the firmware for hardware and software for the computer user. Both written in programming language C++ and C# are included in this work as well. This user application serves for wireless receiving data from the hardware and their showing and logging. In addition this user application can be used for wireless hardware configuration. The final product is the complete telemetry system and it is suitable for selling to end customer.
