Design of a programmable attenuator
Pokorný, Rostislav ; Mašek, Pavel (referee) ; Štůsek, Martin (advisor)
This Master´s thesis focuses on design and implementation of programmable attenuator. The main aim of this thesis is to create an electronical device that provide continuous setting of attenuation value in the range between 0–150 dB. Setting a value from the range can be performed using buttons and set values are shown on display. For this thesis an attenuator with working frequency between 0–6 GHz was chosen and four–layer printed circuit board was designed. As a result the device is fitted with an 8bit microcontroller ATmega328P–PU using five 6bit digital attenuators connected in series with manual and program settings of attenuation from 0–157,5 dB with step of 0,5 dB. Data are shown on a build–in display. The application for remote settings and value reading over integrated USB (Universal Serial Bus) interface, was created in C#. In conclusion of this thesis there is a measurement evaluation of attenuation measurement performed on the device.

Measuring of Electricity Consumption Utilizing Current Transformer and Arduino Platform
Pokorný, Rostislav ; Pokorný, Jiří (referee) ; Štůsek, Martin (advisor)
The aim of this bachelor thesis is implementation of non-invasive platform for measuring the consumption and production of electrical power. Developed device enables visualization of measured data on display. Electric current is measured by non-invasive current sensor equipped with split core made of ferrite. Measured data are processed on single board microcomputer called Arduino. The device enables wireless communication with a server platform that allows visualization of measured data in a simple graphical user interface based on the ThingSpeak platform. Created device can measure consumption or production of electrical power on appliance with maximum current up to 30 A without need of any changes in electric circuit.
