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.

Analogue guitar effects
Trojak, Ondřej ; Kubánek, David (referee) ; Koton, Jaroslav (advisor)
This work is focused on analog guitar effects. It deals with sorting them in the terms of sound parameters which they have impact on. Later, the work focuses on theoretical description of function of tremolo and possible ways to implement its fundamental parts. In the second half a design of a very own analog solution of this effect has been fully described including modification which has been done and particular simulations executed in Micro-Cap software. In a final part, a practical realization, measurements, a revision of existing circuits and possible further development are analysed.

Designing a Directional Acoustic Transmitter
Hladký David
In this paper the parametric transmission of sound through an amplitude-modulated ultrasonic wave, using automatic demodulation in a non-linear environment is discussed. Methods for the processing of the transmitted signal are presented; these techniques employ modified amplitude modulation to suppress the environmental effects, which otherwise distort the signal. A special emphasis is placed on the mathematical instruments describing the parametric sound beam transmission in a non-linear medium. Within our research, we fabricated a parametric speaker consisting of 50 ultrasonic acoustic transducers with the resonant frequency of 40 kHz. The functionality of the acoustic source was verified via measurement of the spatial radiation characteristics and through determination of the total harmonic distortion (THD). In order to control the parametric speaker, a digital element comprising a sampler, a transducer of the input transmitted signal, and a microcontroller to preprocess this signal and to facilitate the amplitude modulation of the ultrasonic carrier wave is designed. The applied algorithms were analyzed to establish their computational intensity; such an analysis enabled us to select a microprocessor basis suitable for the implementation of the signal processing algorithms.

Implemetation of signal processing problems for teaching purposes
Ševčík, Zdeněk ; Rajmic, Pavel (referee) ; Mangová, Marie (advisor)
This thesis is focused on Fourier series, phasor diagram, signal resampling and amplitude modulation. All of there problems are analyzed in theoretical part of thesis. Here are derived all three form of Fourier series, described signal sampling, decimation and interpolation. Next thesis is focused on signal modulation and closer deal with amplitude modulation of harmonic and inharmonic signal. In practical part is example of calculation of Fourier siries for a specific signal, example of signal resampling and example of amplitude modulation for harmonic and inharmonic signal. Objective of practical part is creates programs focused on these problems. Programs should be interactive and their purpose is demonstrate the problem to students.

Ultrasonic Directional Speaker
Sedlák, Jiří ; Michalec, Jaroslav (referee) ; Mikulka, Jan (advisor)
The master´s thesis deals with theoretical research and practical application of the principle of spreading acoustic waves through nonlinear medium. The theoretical part describes five different types of amplitude modulation and their mathematic representation, which were verified by the program Matlab. Next, the impedance characteristic of ultrasound PZT transducer was measured and the design of PWM modulator and class D amplifier was described. The practical part of the master´s thesis contains the realization of the parametric loudspeaker assembled from the class D amplifier and the PWM modulator. In conclusion, the designed parametric loudspeaker was measured and the individual types of amplitude modulation were compared with respect to the total harmonic distortion of transmitted useful signal.

Implementation narrowly directed beeper
Hladký, David ; Drexler, Petr (referee) ; Mikulka, Jan (advisor)
The present final thesis discusses the transmission of a narrowly directional parametric sound beam through an amplitude-modulated ultrasonic wave, utilizing the effect of auto-demodulation in a nonlinear medium and ensuring the subsequent processing of the input signal for the parametric sound transmitter. Emphasis is placed on the mathematical tools that relate to parametric sound transmission in a nonlinear medium. The basic part of the thesis describes a parametric speaker and the associated amplitude modulation techniques, which constitute a major prerequisite for the processing of the transmitted signal. In the following section, the author then analyzes the computational intensity of these techniques, considering applicable hardware approaches. Finally, the fabrication and practical use of the proposed solution are discussed, including the measurement of typical parameters such as the spatial radiation characteristics, total harmonic distortion, and transmission channel bandwidth.
