Platform for Digital Predistortion Based on RFSoC
Kříčka, Tomáš ; Král, Jan
Signal predistortion occurs in modern communication systems and in other systems requiring linear signal amplification. The objective is to learn about signal predistortion, the QORVO 1800 MHz FDD radio front-end and to implement the front-end control using RFSoC and Matlab computer program. I focus on controlling individual attenuators and amplifiers on the QORVO front-end with a program written in C. Using a single board computer Raspberry Pi 4B running Linux. Furthermore, the work involves the application of a SCPI server that operates based on TCP packets. As part of the introduction to the front-end, the power characteristic of the power amplifier is measured.

System for the characterization of semiconductor heating layers
Mikluš, Vladimír ; Krejčí, Jakub (referee) ; Šedivá, Soňa (advisor)
The bachelor thesis deals with the design, preparation and operation of a system for the characterization of semiconductor heating layers. The general structure of the designed system, measurement methodology, parameters of the used instruments, measurement algorithms, general hardware and software solutions are addressed. With this system it is possible to obtain the necessary data used to assess the potential degradation of the deposited heating layers, imperfections of the technological process of production including the overall design of the produced samples.

Design of the system for the carbon composite conductive layers of the L-39NG aircraft testing and the optimization of the conductive material
Pham, Ngoc Nam ; Hönig,, Martin (referee) ; Háze, Jiří (advisor)
V posledních desetiletích je v leteckém průmyslu výrazně preferováno použití kompozitů. Nejnovější projekty českého leteckého průmyslu se zaměřují také na zvýšení využití kompozitů v nových letadlech. Tato práce se zaměřuje na výzkum elektrických vlastností kompozitu za účelem optimalizace výběru materiálu. Diplomová práce představuje návrh automatické měřicí stanice sloužící k měření a testování elektrických vlastností kompozitních vzorků vyráběných společností AERO Vodochody AEROSPACE as. K tomuto účelu je použito zařízení LCR bridge R&S HM8118 a řídicí program je navržen v prostředí MATLAB s použitím jazyka SCPI. Navržený systém je následně použit pro experimentální ověření elektrické vodivosti kompozitních vzorků. Výsledky měření budou základem pro vývoj kompozitů pro leteckou vodivost v nových letadlech. Tato práce také prezentuje výsledky testu úderu blesku na vybraných kompozitních vzorcích. Výsledky testu na úder blesku poskytují hlubší znalosti o schopnosti vzorků chránit před úderem blesku. V této práci je také představen vývoj nedestruktivního testovacího systému založeného na metodě elektrické impedance/odporové tomografie. Vývoj je v prvních fázích, ale očekává se, že systém bude využíván jako systém monitorování zdraví struktur.

Beam Shaping Circuits for L Band Antenna
Kalina, Ladislav ; Pítra, Kamil (referee) ; Urbanec, Tomáš (advisor)
This thesis contains design of beamforming network designed for passive radar antennas. The first part contains theory of passive radars and beamforming networks. The next part implies design of beamforming network at the block digram level. Then are choosed circuits for amplitude and phase control, including the design of control communication. It follows by realization of IQ phase shifter and his automatic measurement. Based on this results is phase shifter adjusted and PCB of 2x2 beamforming network is designed. Last part includes design of control application (Matlab) and control program for STM32F407VG microcontroller.

Communication module for power supplies controlling
Zachar, Jiří ; Šmíd, Petr (referee) ; Dřínovský, Jiří (advisor)
The aim of this work is to design a communication module for laboratory source Manson. This power supply communicates only through a serial RS-232 link. Modern computers usually use for the connection with other peripherals mainly USB. Designed communication module contains converter between the RS-232 and USB. Power supply is used in the automated measurement setup, which is controlled from the Virtual Engineering Environment from the Agilent Technologies. Direct commands for laboratory source Manson are not compatible with the SCPI (Standard Commands for Programmable Instruments) standard commands. So, the communication module converts commands from the SCPI format to Manson supply instructions. The communication with the Manson supply will be obvious for students by using new communication module.

Wideband 6GHz RF Signal Generator
Mička, Josef ; Kubíček, Michal (referee) ; Urbanec, Tomáš (advisor)
The goal of this thesis is a design of a wideband high frequency generator with an adjustable output amplitude. The generator is based on a frequency synthesizer ADF4355. The power level of an output signal is adjustable by an attenuator HMC1119. The created generator is accesisible trough an user-friendly control panel or by SCPI commands. Frequency synthesis can run in an integer mode or a fractional mode. The output signal has a very low phase noise when it is running in the integer mode.

Drivers for optical spectral analyzer.
Fišer, Michal ; Pikula, Stanislav (referee) ; Mancl, Vlastimil (advisor)
This bachelor thesis describes the application for the control of the optical spectrum analyzer Bristol Instruments 771B-NIR. The purpose of the application is to measure the spectrum of optical signal and wavelength. Theoretical knowledge of wavelength and spectrum measurement and the optical spectral analyzers are summarized in the theoretical part. The practical part focused on the realization of measurement application and library of functions that were created in the LabVIEW environment and the SCPI standard commands are used to control the instrument. Both the application and the library of functions are inspired by the factory-supplied NuVIEW interface.
