Signal Processing for UHF RFID Reader
Novotný, Jan ; Zamazal, Michal (referee) ; Povalač, Aleš (advisor)
The master’s thesis is focused on the UHF RFID reader EXIN-1 signal processing. The first part describes the concept of the EXIN-1 front end, its basic testing and possible communication interfaces for reader control and for receiving and transmitting baseband signals. The second part of this work is aimed to a simple description of EPCglobal Class-1 Generation-2 UHF RFID Protocol, especially to used modulations and codings. In the last part, a block connection between the front end and an ARM Cortex-M4 microcontroller discovery board is designed. The microcontroller is used for generating of all required signals and also for receiving incoming signals and processing them for identification numbers of RFID cards (tags), which are in the reading range of the reader. A decoding algorithm is designed in MATLAB software and implemented to the selected microcontroller. Obtained identification data are displayed on an LCD display and also sent to a PC through a serial communication.

Radio Telemetry for RC Aircrafts
Žák, Tomáš ; Fuchs,, Michal (referee) ; Povalač, Aleš (advisor)
Master‘s thesis is focused on problematic about state of RC plane model during the flight. Device is able to measure overload, height, position, pressure and velocity of the flight and store this measurement data to memory medium. The main aim of the master‘s thesis was to design a functional board, firmware for device and design simple program for evaluating of measured data. Involvement consists of five basic parts. First part is microcontroller, which processes measurement data and communicate with others parts. Next is accelerometer. Accelerometer is used for scanning overload of the plane. Barometer is used for measurement of height and pressure. For measuring position and velocity is used GPS module. Last part is memory medium. MicroSD is used as memory medium for storing measurement data. Evaluation of measured data is realized as simple program with base graphical user interface. Program was created in Matlab.

Advanced Weather Station with Image Transmission
Augustin, Stanislav ; Fedra, Zbyněk (referee) ; Povalač, Aleš (advisor)
The content of this diploma thesis is a hardware and software design of advanced weather station with image transmission. The meteostation consist of two units - outdoor and indoor unit. Outdoor unit provide processing measured values from temperature sensor, atmospheric pressure sensors, rain gauge and windmeter. It also provides processing of captured image and wireless transmission of measured values to indoor unit. Indoor unit should provide comfortable meteostation controlling and visualization of weather situation by web interface.

Drum Machine for Musicians
Spáčil, Tomáš ; Fedra, Zbyněk (referee) ; Povalač, Aleš (advisor)
The aim of this work is to create a functional prototype of a drum machine with sound generating using a microcontroller. Introduction is devoted to general drum machine and an analysis of its parts, principle and basic modes of operation. The following chapter deals with the principle of digital signal processing and sound generation using a microcontroller. Part of this chapter is focused on mixing using compression methods. The core of this work is to design my own block structure and overall scheme of the drum machine with a description of the parts. Followed by analysis and implementation with theoretical and practical point of view. It is mainly about presentation and description of important parts of firmware codes, DPS design and another technical documentation useful for final prototype production. The conclusion contains a summary of the results with prezentation and discussion.

Global Positioning System Signal Emulator
Hofman, Jan ; Zamazal, Michal (referee) ; Povalač, Aleš (advisor)
Thesis is adressed to the principals of a satellite navigation. It is focused on a determination of a longitude, latitude and altitude of a single point on the surface of the Earth. It contains analysis of navigation messages and a manner of processing of navigation signals in GPS receivers. Realization of an emulator of the navigation signal of GPS system in Matlab is also described. The purpose of this emulator is a generation of navigation messages, which could be transmitted by universal software radio. The last part of thesis contains the analysis of these signals, which were captured by second software radio.
