Programme: Electrical Engineering and Communication

Length of Study: 4 years

Profile

The doctor study programme provides the specialised university education to the graduates of the previous master study in electronics and communication technologies. The students are educated in various branches of theoretical and applied electronics and communication techniques. The students make deeper their theoretical knowledge of higher mathematics and physics, and they earn also knowledge of applied informatics and computer techniques.
They get ability to produce scientific works.

Key learning outcomes

The doctors are able to solve scientific and complex engineering tasks from the area of electronics and communications.
Wide fundamentals and deep theoretical basis of the study program bring high adaptability and high qualification of doctors for the most of requirements of their future creative practice in all areas of electronic engineering and communications.
The doctors are competent to work as scientists and researchers in many areas of basic research or research and development, as high-specialists in the development, design, construction, and application areas in many institutions, companies, and organisations of the electrical and electronic research, development, and industry as in the areas of communication and data transmission services and systems, inclusively in the special institutions of the state administration. In all of these branches they are able to work also as the leading scientific-, research-, development- or technical-managers.

Issued topics of Doctoral Study Program

  1. Active Devices in Advanced Classes for Telecomunication Applications

    The aim of the project is in the solutions of amplifiers or multipliers in advanced classes E, F, G and other in the microwave band. These classes allow improving various parameters of standard circuits, such as efficiency, intermodulation level and others, depending on specific application. The change of parameters is done with the use of manipulation of harmonic frequencies of input signal. In the work it will be necessary to simulate those circuits, to realize selected designs and select proper methodology of measurements in the case of designed circuits.

    Tutor: Urbanec Tomáš, Ing., Ph.D.

  2. Design of measuring systems for special EMC chambers

    The project is focused on the analysis of non-standard electromagnetic environments for electromagnetic interference measurements. The analysis has to be focused on different measurement techniques and also some calibrations of the unknown environment. The main aim is to gain similar result of measurements in the uncertain condition as in the semi-anechoic chambers by special measurement setups and corrections. The analysis has to cover also full and semi-anechoic chambers and also reverberations and only shielded rooms.

    Tutor: Dřínovský Jiří, Ing., Ph.D.

  3. Effective methods for multi-core systems programming

    This work is focused on high performance computing with help of CPU, GPU, and DSP. Within the scope of thesis, student will verify, adapt and prove modern methods of programming for multi-core systems, such as MPI, OpenMP, CUDA, etc. Mainly, effective programming for multi-core DSPs will be examined. Remark: Topic cooperates with the project of Simula Research Laboratory (Oslo, Norway) for image processing of the football match.

    Tutor: Frýza Tomáš, doc. Ing., Ph.D.

  4. EMI Three-Phase Filters Performance Analyses Under Uncertain Conditions

    The project is focused on the analysis of three-phase (or multiphase) EMI filters. The analysis has to be focused on the uncertain impedance termination of the EMI filters. The termination has a dominant influence on the filter's insertion loss and also on so call "worst-case" performance. The results will be checked by a lot of measurements and also several mathematical analyses. For these analyses will be designed accurate filter's models.

    Tutor: Dřínovský Jiří, Ing., Ph.D.

  5. Imaging Methods With the Use of Vector Network Analyzer

    The aim of the project is area of imaging systems, which use the vector network analyzer. The work deals with methods used in 2D up to 4D imaging systems, studies their features, restrictions and methods of their creations. In the practical part it will lead to realization of perspective system in laboratory and study of dealing with measured data will be done to produce the imaging solution. Practical use is directed to ground penetrating radar or microwave tomography.

    Tutor: Urbanec Tomáš, Ing., Ph.D.

  6. Modern methods for image processing

    This work is focused on effective image processing domain. Within the scope of thesis, student will analyze the modern algorithms in processing chain from the single/multi picture capturing, up to picture interpretation (classic view, 3-D TV, free-point view). The aim of several systems is the real-time processing; therefore, the knowledge of highly time consuming parts of algorithms, or potential bottlenecks is significant. The real-time processing can be achieved also by heterogeneous systems (i.e. by combination of CPUs, GPUs, DSPs) with high level of parallelization. The result of thesis should be the optimized model of fundamental blocks of compression chain on specific hardware multi-cores platform as well. Remark: Topic cooperates with the project of Simula Research Laboratory (Oslo, Norway) for image processing of the football match.

    Tutor: Frýza Tomáš, doc. Ing., Ph.D.

  7. Noncoherent Ranging of Objects in 3D Space and Realtime

    The aim of the project is range measurement according to time delay of signals via active transponder on measured object. The work deals with modulation and code sequencies selection, and with suitable ways of measurement handling. Following the measurements from more different stations, it is necessary to do proper synchronization of their measurements to be able to obtain position in the 3D space. The work is aimed at simulations of problematics in Matlab and practical measurements via active satellite transponders.
