ITC/USA 2006 Conference Proceedings / The Forty-Second Annual International Telemetering Conference and Technical Exhibition / October 23-26, 2006 / Town and Country Resort & Convention Center, San Diego, California / Recent Constraints on the use of L and S band spectrum led to the search for additional Frequency Domain Bandwidth augmentation for test range telemetry needs. The ITU (International Telecommunications Union) approved X band region is listed as 7000 MHz to 8500 MHz for telemetry space applications. Bandwidth is available within this domain subject to the WARC (World Administrative Radio Consortium) approvals. This paper describes tests and presents results illustrating methodology that is available, and which can be used for conversion of S-band assets to the X band spectral region.

The presentation highlights research on theory, design, EM modeling, fabrication, packaging, and measurement of GaAs Monolithic Microwave Integrated Circuits (MMICs). The goal of this work is to design MMIC LNAs with low noise figure, high gain, and wide bandwidth. The work aims to develop GaAs MMIC LNAs for the application of RF front-end receivers in radio telescopes. GaAs MMIC technology offers modern radio astronomy attractive solutions based on its advantage in terms of high operational frequency, low noise, excellent repeatability and high integration density. Theoretical investigations are performed, presenting the formulation and graphical methods, and focusing on a systematic method to design a low noise amplifier for the best noise, gain and input/output return loss. Additionally, an EM simulation method is utilized and successfully applied to MMIC designs. The effect of packaging including the wire bond and chassis is critical as the frequency increases. Therefore, it is modeled by full-wave analysis where the measured results verify the reliability of these models. The designed MMICs are validated by measurements of several prototypes, including three C/X band and one Q band MMIC LNAs. Moreover, comparison to similar industrial chips demonstrates the superiority of the proposed structures regarding bandwidth, noise and gain flatness, and making them suitable for use in radio astronomy receivers. / Graduate / 2020-05-01

No. of bitstreams: 1 Tese Celso Jose Rodrigues Benedito.pdf: 1079327 bytes, checksum: 24eaf18903131f9cb987e587dfe96332 (MD5) Previous issue date: 2011 / O presente trabalho teve como objeto de estudo a prática de ensino-aprendizagem de música dos mestres de filarmônicas da Bahia. Os mestres baianos, figuras centrais desta pedagogia, desenvolveram um modelo de educação musical que possibilita a adequação do treinamento à individualidade de cada aprendiz. Grande parte deste aprendizado ocorre com os músicos mais antigos e persiste na convivência de seus integrantes com a rotina musical da entidade. Na filarmônica jamais se perde de vista o fazer musical e a metodologia de ensino favorece o preparo rápido para o ingresso do aluno no grupo. O trabalho está estruturado em quatro capítulos denominados a partir de expressões usuais extraídas da pedagogia das filarmônicas: ― "Conforme Lê, conforme toca” (Metodologia); ― "Pegar o instrumento" (Fundamentação Teórica). O ― "Passar para a estante" (Transcrição dos dados) e o ― "Ingresso no Grupo" (Análise). A investigação abordou as seguintes questões: quais competências os mestres de filarmônica necessitam para exercer sua função; quais os processos de ensino, como o corpo musical da banda concebe a formação dos mestres, as dificuldades desta prática nos dias de hoje e a possibilidade de incluí-la no ensino básico. A pesquisa constatou ser o mestre de filarmônica um educador musical. Muitos dos procedimentos didáticos adotados pelos mestres podem proporcionar uma valiosa contribuição à Educação Musical Brasileira. É preciso valorizá-los como educadores, reconhecer suas práticas musicais e oportunizar a disseminação de tais saberes. / Salvador

Master of Music / Department of Music / Frank C. Tracz / This report contains research and analysis of beginning band compositions studied, rehearsed, and performed by the Haysville Public Schools, combined beginning band students on May 18th, 2009, at 7 p.m., in Haysville, Kansas. The repertoire included Let’s Go Band II, by Albert Ahronheim, arranged by Andrew Balent, Midnight Mission, by Brian Balmages, and Bugler’s Dream by Leo Arnaud, arranged by Paul Lavender. The report contains criteria for selecting quality beginning band literature, lesson plans for specific pieces analyzed, history, musical elements, stylistic elements and technical information regarding those pieces. A philosophy of general education and music education is presented and is the basis of all planning, implementation of the chosen works. Biographical information of the composers and arrangers for performed pieces are included. In addition to the performed pieces, America the Beautiful, by Samuel A Ward, arranged by John Higgins is also analyzed using the same criteria and elements mentioned above.
