Hybrid module for industrial localization
Sedláček, Petr ; Fuchs, Michal (oponent) ; Kubíček, Michal (vedoucí práce)
This thesis focuses on the design of a hybrid localization device capable of locating both outdoors and indoors. Indoor positioning is achieved by Ultra Wideband and outdoor localization utilizes the RTK GNSS positioning solution together with PPP provided by an open - source software called RTKLIB. The first part of the the text is aimed at explaining the underlying technologies and choosing the most precise technology for outdoor localization purposes. The second part focuses on the hardware and software design of the final device and on the integration of the outdoor positioning solution to the indoor localization system. The output of this thesis is a a working device, capable of seamless outdoor and indoor localization. The functionality of the device is shown in final tests both indoors and outdoors. In conclusion, the thesis also mentions possible improvements in the future.

Spatial Identification Methods and Systems for RFID Tags
Povalač, Aleš ; Carvalho, Nuno Miguel Gonçalves Borges de (oponent) ; Polívka,, Milan (oponent) ; Šebesta, Jiří (vedoucí práce)
The doctoral thesis is focused on methods and systems for ranging and localization of RFID tags operating in the UHF band. It begins with a description of the state of the art in the field of RFID positioning with short extension to the area of modeling and prototyping of such systems. After a brief specification of dissertation objectives, the thesis overviews the theory of degenerate channel modeling for RFID communication. Details are given about phase-based ranging and direction of arrival finding methods. Several antenna placement scenarios are proposed for localization purposes. The degenerate channel models are simulated in MATLAB. A significant part of the thesis is devoted to software defined radio (SDR) concept and its adaptation for UHF RFID operation, as it has its specialties which make the usage of standard SDR test equipment very disputable. Transmit carrier leakage into receiver path and requirements on local oscillator signals for mixing are discussed. The development of three experimental prototypes is also presented there: experimental interrogator EXIN-1, measurement system based on Ettus USRP platform, and antenna switching matrix for an emulation of SIMO system. The final part is focused on testing and evaluation of described positioning techniques based on complex backscatter channel transfer function measurement. Both narrowband/wideband ranging and direction of arrival methods are validated. Finally, both proposed antenna placement scenarios are evaluated with real-world measurements.
