<p>Skew in telecommunication normally means the difference in arrival time of bits transmitted at the same time in differential transmission. As an increasing of transmission data bit rate and more importantly, a data and clock signal rise time of become faster, digital system interconnects became behaving as transmission line. The high speed signals become microwave in nature. The problem is that modern digital designs and verifications require knowledge that has formerly not been needed for a data bit rate of below than 100Mbit but also at the higher frequency range as 5 to 15GHz, however, most references on the necessary subjects are too abstract to be immediately applicable to the skew. For this reason a new method to investigate the skew were introduced, and with which, test board were measured. Since the test boards are made in devise material, and lines on the boards are configured out in distinct structures. In this paper, several methods were applied to find out the skew, and by comparing the results, it could be found that how factors affect the skew, not only the material factor, but some manufactory reason.</p>

This diploma thesis deals with the study and measurement of coexistence scenarios that can occur between the LTE and LoRa systems in the unlicensed ISM band 2.4 GHz. A common radio frequency band in which LTE and LoRa systems can coexist is defined. An appropriate laboratory measurement is proposed and realized, allowing automatized measurement of the defined coexistence scenarios. For this purpose, a personal computer, professional measurement equipment and software MATLAB are utilized. Functionality of the proposed concept is verified by extensive measurements. The obtained results are graphically shown and discussed in detail.

This thesis concerns the introduction and development in our laboratory of a multilayer ceramic technology, called LTCC, for RF and microwave packaging. LTCC stands for Low Temperature Co-fired Ceramics. As can be understood from its name, the low temperature means that the LTCC circuit is fired below 1000 °C that allows the use of high conductivity materials such as gold and silver. The thesis work starts after the bibliographic study of RF packaging technology, with the choice of LTCC substrate and conductor materials necessary to implement LTCC technology in our laboratory. Then, the LTCC manufacturing process is put in place and validated in order to produce operational LTCC circuits. This process includes the cut of LTCC layers, via hole and cavity creation, via fill for vertical interconnecting, screen printing for horizontal patterns, stacking, lamination and finally the firing to obtain a 3D circuit. Most encountered technological problems are resolved and the fabrication steps are validated. LTCC DESIGN RULES that contain all dimensional values required for future RF packaging designers at the laboratory is elaborated. Next, after the successful establishment of LTCC technology, it is qualified up to 40 GHz using simple RF structures such as transmission lines and planar resonators. Then, a multilayer LTCC package for an MMIC oscillator functioning in the frequency band between 10.6 and 12.6 GHz is proposed, fabricated and finally measured.

This diploma thesis deals with the use of freely available data sets to estimate the signal strength in localities where measurements are missing. This work aimed to use interpolation and regression methods to estimate as accurately as possible the possible signal coverage in a given locality. First, data sets were analyzed, based on results, a test model for various methods has been created. The methods with the best results have been implemented on real data sets containing thousands of measurements. At the end of the work, accurate estimates are commented and circumstances to reduce the deviation of the measured and calculated values are specified.

Diplomová práca sa zaoberá štúdiom koexistencie, ktorá môže nastať medzi bezdrôtovými komunikačnými systémami LoRa a Wi-Fi v bezlicenčnom ISM pásme 2,4 GHz. V teoretickej časti práce sú stručne popísané fyzické vrstvy obidvoch systémov.

<div>In recent years, intelligent devices such as smartphones and self-driving cars are becoming ubiquitous in daily life, and thus, wireless communication is turning out to be increasingly omnipresent. To efficiently utilize the electromagnetic spectrum, automatically reconfigurable software-controlled radio transceivers are drawing an extensive amount of attention. In order to implement a reconfigurable radio transceiver, automatically tunable RF front-end components such as tunable filters are indispensable. Over the last decade, tunable filters have shown promising performance with high-quality factor (Q), a wide tuning range, and high-power handling. However, most of the existing tunable filters are manually adjusted. In this regard, this research work focuses on developing a novel automatic software-driven tuning technique for continuously tunable microwave and millimeter-wave filters.</div><div><br></div><div><br></div><div>First, a K-band continuously tunable bandpass filter has been demonstrated with contactless printed circuit board (PCB) tuners. Then, an automatic tuning technique based on deep-Q learning has been proposed and realized to tune a filter with contactless tuners automatically. Two-pole, three-pole, and four-pole bandpass filters are experimentally tested as examples without any human intervention to prove the feasibility of the tuning technique. For the first time, unlike a look-up table, the filters can be continuously tuned at a practically infinite number of frequencies inside the tuning range. </div><div><br></div><div>Next, a K/Ka-band tunable absorptive bandstop filter (ABSF) has been designed and fabricated in low-cost PCB technology. Contrary to a reflective bandstop filter, an ABSF filter is preferred for interference mitigation due to its deeper notch and lower reflection. However, the absorbed power may limit the filter's power handling. Therefore, lastly, a comparative analysis of power handling capability (PHC) between a reflective bandstop filter and an absorptive bandstop filter has been studied theoretically and experimentally in this dissertation.</div>
