CPM advantageous in spectral efficiency because of its continuity of the phase in modulation. One of the CPM example is GMSK, which has been applied to the wireless GSM system. The conventional demodulaton og CPM is achieved by Viterbi algorithm. This is because of the state transition structure for the dynamic description of phase of the CPM signal. Furthermore, the state transition can be presented by a trellis diagram, which can be efficiently solved by Viterbi algorithm based upon the strategy of selecting best survivor path to a maximum likelihood criterion. The best survivor path is measured by the Euclidean distance in modulation in this thesis. Another demodulation method proposed by us is the famous BCJR algorithm. BCJR which is based upon the posteriori probabilities is a alternative method for decoding the convolution code. We compare the BCJR and Viterbi algorithm for the demodulation of the GMSK system. Experiment results demonstrate that BCJR has a better error probability than the Viterbi algorithm. Also, we compare different GMSK system for different overlapping length and modulation index. The best combination of L and h suggested by pur experiments is the case of L=3, and h=3/4.

The project investigates the Cavity Perturbation Method (CRM) and design of a coaxial resonator covering a wide frequency band from 2.5 to 11.5 GHz. Using the published analyses for coaxial cavities, original theoretical analysis of Cavity Perturbation Method for TEM coaxial cavity was carried out by the author. Using similar approach, the H(_011) cylindrical cavity was analyzed. The deliberate objective of the method was to produce a wide band technique since there are none available at present. The method then examines the possibility of employing the coaxial cavity as an important and necessary measuring device for dielectric measurements using CPM. It was the aim in the investigations to state clearly what assumptions were made so that the accuracy of the calculated results could be assessed. A new measurement technique, using a Sweep Generator/ Spectrum Analyzer Assembly (SG/SA) was introduced. The technique is based on very precise measurements of the changes in cavity Q and its resonant frequency, displayed on Spectrum Analyzer, when the test sample of the material is inserted. Because the main objective of the project is the method of measurements, the assessment of its validity and accuracy was fully discussed. Measurements were carried out on fifteen materials of various types of ceramics over the frequency range of interest. These materials were used mainly for the assessment of the validity and accuracy of the new Sweep Generator/Spectrum Analyzer Assembly technique, and also a test of the capability of the constructed broadband coaxial cavity to be used for dielectric measurements. The well-known Bridge and Q-meter methods, were employed initially to provide the low frequency values for the materials as reference. An attempt has also been made to justify the validity of the universal law on those materials. Additional work not directly related to the main project has been carried out on Curie temperature measurements. The object was to develop a simple and reliable method using the Gouy balance technique.

In my thesis, I applied project management in optimizing activities in the implementation of wooden buildings. I used methods of PERT and CPM, and then compared their contribution to practical use in the implementation of the historic wooden buildings of baroque truss. I suggested classification methodology sorting random effects in the implementation of timber, which will be useful in the practice of project management. Then I confronted estimates project duration calculated according to these methods with real historical truss during construction.

The Critical Path Method (CPM) is a widely used tool throughout the construction industry. Since its creation, the use and application of the Critical Path Method has grown tremendously. Up to date, three studies have been performed on how Engineering News Record's (ENR) Top 400 Contractor use CPM. The first study was performed by Edward Davis in 1974 and the second was performed by Amir Tavakoli and Roger Riachi in 1990. This paper is a summary of the third survey, which took place in 2003. The results from the three studies indicate that CPM use by the Top 400 Contractors is growing and the areas of use are expanding. The number one use of CPM throughout the years is detailed planning before the start of construction. Periodic control during construction is another large area of CPM use and has been a large area of growth due to the advances in technology, which make updating a schedule during construction easier and faster than was possible with a mainframe computer in the past. Another area of CPM growth is estimating and bidding for several reasons: use in this area has jumped from 19% to 54% in the past 30 years. An area of concern lately in CPM is the use of precedence diagramming instead of arrow diagramming. Despite the debate, the responding companies found precedence diagrams easier to read, provide more flexibility, and allow for easier use of "smart" relationships (i.e. start-start). / Master of Science

<p>The main goal of this thesis is to create a continuous phase modulated radio system with a recursive least square equalizer. The two tested channel models are typical urban and rural area. The result of the performance of this radio system is displayed in Matlab plots as the bit error rate. Three error rates are displayed; with error correction, without error correction and the rate of received incorrect message bursts. Conclusions are also drawn of the performance of the radio system in kbit/sec of bandwidth when the different channel models are used. The performance is also divided into how the equalizer handles inter symbol interference or a fading channel without inter symbol interference.</p> / <p>I detta examensarbete har ett fasmodulerat radiosystem simulerats, fokusering ligger på kanalutjämnare som är av typen recursive least square (RLS). RLS utjämnaren har testats med två olika gsm kanalmodeler, dels typical urban som simulerar radioförbindelser i stadsmiljö den andra modellen är rural area där sändare och mottagare kan se varandra. Tre olika resultat presenteras; med felrättande koder, utan felrättande koder och mängden icke korrekta datapaket. Slutsatser dras om radiosystemets bandbredd när de olika kanalmodellerna används vid olika brusmängd. Även utjämnarens förmåga att hantera inter-symbol interference och fading utvärderas också.</p>
