SIW-Based Circularly Polarized Antenna Arrays
Špůrek, Jan ; Joler,, Miroslav (oponent) ; Mazánek, Miloš (oponent) ; Raida, Zbyněk (vedoucí práce)
This dissertation thesis presents a new concept of SIW-based circularly polarized antenna arrays. The main property of the concept is modularity where the base building block can be utilized to create more complex antenna arrays and at the same time it serves also as the template to design the more complex structure. The antenna array was simulated and experimentally verified for the frequencies of 17 and 60 GHz. Based on the obtained results, design methodology was derived, and key design areas were identified. Next, the thesis introduces a technique of increasing axial ratio bandwidth of circularly polarized antenna arrays by utilizing parasitic patches, which are placed above the radiating elements at defined distance. The antenna array from the first section of the thesis was used in the simulations and experimental verification for the frequencies of 17 and 60 GHz, where this array was extended with the parasitic structure, adding another level of modularity into the concept.

Numerical solutions of EMC problems of small airplanes
Šeděnka, Vladimír ; Dědková, Jarmila (oponent) ; Mazánek, Miloš (oponent) ; Raida, Zbyněk (vedoucí práce)
The dissertation describes actual problems in certifying small airplanes, which are to be solved by numerical modeling of the airplanes. The work is closely linked to the European project HIRF-SE, which deals with this problem. The essential part of the work is devoted to describing design of two modules within the HIRF SE framework: time-domain finite-element solver BUTFE and its excitation module BUTFE_EXC. The thesis describes solution of absorbing boundary conditions, dispersive media, anisotropy and thin wire approximation. Special attention is devoted to a proper approximation of thin wires with sharp bends. Current implementation of the approximation leads to overlaps of wire segments.

Modeling of Microwave Semiconductor Structures
Pokorný, Michal ; Mazánek, Miloš (oponent) ; Voves, Jan (oponent) ; Raida, Zbyněk (vedoucí práce)
This thesis deals with the modeling of the microwave semiconductor structures. Increasing working frequencies of the new communication systems increase the demands on active devices and transmission lines, usually implemented in the monolithic integrated form. Active transmission lines with distributed parameters seem to be promising solution as an amplifying element and also as an active feeding of microwave antennas. The first part presents the implementation of the thermodynamic formulation of the drift-diffusion scheme for the numerical simulation of transport processes in semiconductor structures using the commercial software COMSOL Multiphysics. Following section is devoted to the implementation of the Gunn effect in the macroscopic approximation, and the development of the simulation procedure for the analysis of structures using this phenomenon. The last part is devoted to the design and analysis of active transmission lines and their improvement.

Numerical synthesis of filtering antennas
Kufa, Martin ; Mazánek, Miloš (oponent) ; Masopust, Jiří (oponent) ; Raida, Zbyněk (vedoucí práce)
The dissertation thesis is focused on a complete design methodology of a three and four-element patch antenna arrays which are without any filtering parts and yet behave like a filtering antenna (filtenna). This design combines filter and antenna approaches and includes shaping the frequency response of the reflection coefficient and the modelling of the frequency response of the normalized realized gain. The frequency response of the main lobe direction is controlled as well. In order to control the shape of these responses, a set of gi coefficients for designing the filtering antenna array are obtained. The design methodology was verified on the three-element and four-element filtennas over the frequency range from 4.8 GHz to 6.8 GHz; for fractional bandwidth from 7 % to 14 % and for level of the reflection coefficient from –10 dB to –20 dB. The whole design methodology was supported by manufacturing and measuring six test cases of the filtering antenna array with different configurations. Simulated and measured results show a good agreement in all cases.

Reconstruction of the Antenna Near-Field
Puskely, Jan ; Mazánek, Miloš (oponent) ; Schejbal, Vladimír (oponent) ; Nováček, Zdeněk (vedoucí práce)
The aim of this dissertation thesis is to design a very effective algorithm, which is able to reconstruct the antenna near-field and radiation patterns, respectively, from amplitude-only measurements. Under these circumstances, the properties of minimization algorithm were researched. The selection of the minimization approach, optimization technique and the appropriate functional were investigated and appropriately chosen. To reveal the global minimum area faster, the possibilities in the form of initial estimates for accelerating minimization algorithm were also considered. And finally, the idea to represent the unknown electric field distribution by a few coefficients was implicated into the minimization algorithm. The designed near-field phaseless approach for the antenna far-field characterization combines a global optimization, an image compression method and a local optimization in conjunction with conventional two-surface amplitude measurements. The global optimization method is used to minimize the functional, the image compression method is used to reduce the number of unknown variables, and the local optimization method is used to improve the estimate achieved by the previous method. The proposed algorithm is very robust and faster than comparable algorithms available. Other investigations were focused on possibilities of using amplitude from only single scanning surface for reconstruction of radiation patterns and the application of the novel phase retrieval algorithm for cylindrical geometry.

Některé otázky předcertifikačních testů EMC
Vídenka, Rostislav ; Soldán, Josef (oponent) ; Mazánek, Miloš (oponent) ; Dřínovský, Jiří (vedoucí práce)
Tato dizertační práce se zabývá předcertifikačními testy EMC se zaměřením na měření vyzářeného rušení. Práce shrnuje dosavadní poznatky omezování vlivu rušivého elektromagnetického pozadí a zaměřuje se na omezování vlivu nedokonalostí pracoviště a na výsledky měření vyzářeného rušení. Dále je popsán postup pro „kalibraci“ předcertifikačního měřicího pracoviště s využitím speciálních signálových zdrojů spolu s doporučeními, kterým bodům při „kalibraci“ je nutné věnovat pozornost. Jsou zde uvedeny výsledky porovnání měření v plně a v částečně bezodrazových komorách. Probrány jsou některé metody k potlačování vlivu rušivého elektromagnetického pozadí na výsledky měření vyzářeného rušení. Velká pozornost je pak věnována výběru a sestavení pracoviště na otevřeném prostředí a doporučením pro jeho minimální rozměry. V závěru práce je uveden doporučený postup pro předcertifikační měření vyzářeného rušení se zohledněním dostupného přístrojového vybavení.
