RF Impairments: Estimation Compensation and Exploitation
Pospíšil, Martin ; Viščor, Ivo (oponent) ; Galajda, Pavol (oponent) ; Maršálek, Roman (vedoucí práce)
This thesis deals with the hardware imperfections of wireless transceivers – dominantly with the measurement setups and techniques for their compensation, but also with their exploitation providing the additional physical layer security. The first part of the thesis consists of brief introduction to the domain of research, formulation of research questions, and introductory part providing brief discussion of wireless front-end impairments, low-complexity digital predistorters, or basic classifiers. The most important section of this part then contains description of the state-of-the art mm-wave experimental setups. The core of the dissertation is composed as a selection of eight published papers complemented with the selected additional information on the hardware or experiments carried on. Three of the papers have dealt with RF impairments exploitation for transmitter authentication, two other focus on the implementation of low-complexity digital predistorters for power amplifier nonlinearity, and remaining three describe our millimeter-wave testbeds together with the achieved results of digital impairment compensation in 60 GHz band.

3D PRINTED ARTIFICIAL MATERIALS FOR MICROWAVE STRUCTURES
Kaděra, Petr ; Soh, Ping Jack (oponent) ; Polívka, Milan (oponent) ; Láčík, Jaroslav (vedoucí práce)
The dissertation thesis deals with the research of 3D printed artificial electromagnetic structures exploitable for antenna and microwave component design. Artificial structures containing dielectric and metallic inclusions of various geometries are investigated, and their precise description, including the anisotropy effect, can improve the actual design speed and accuracy. First, the models based on the analytical parallel plate capacitor method are compared with an effective medium theory, numerical, and experimental results, which are provided for various parameters of materials available in 3D printing technology. The proposed models derived by the parallel plate capacitor method can generally be exploited for faster and highly accurate determination of the effective complex permittivity, which enhances its potential to be used with optimization techniques. Second, the hybrid multimodal transfer matrix method is exploited as a general and effective way for calculations of the effective permittivity and effective permeability of artificial structures containing both dielectric and metallic inclusions through the volumetric space of the structures studied. The artificial structures containing metallic inclusions generally allow to achieve a wide tuning range of the effective constitutive parameters. Finally, suitable structures with spatial permittivity distribution are developed for wide-angle millimeter-wave gradient-index Luneburg lenses employable as antennas or retroreflectors for wide angular coverage and stable radar cross section enhancements of passive, chipless frequency-coded radiofrequency identification tag landmarks which have a large potential for indoor self-localization.
