Το ραδιόφωνο είναι από τις πλέον διαδεδομένες μορφές εκπομπής δεδομένων, χρησιμοποιείται δε ακόμα και σήμερα, σε μια εποχή που οι ψηφιακές τηλεπικοινωνίες επεκτείνονται ταχύτατα. Αρχικά επέτρεπε την μετάδοση μόνο ενός καναλιού ήχου, όμως επεκτάθηκε σε στερεοφωνική (δικάναλη) εκπομπή, προσετέθησαν μέθοδοι μετάδοσης ψηφιακών πληροφοριών (RDS/RBDS, DirectBand) για την πληροφόρηση χρηστών αλλά και για μεγαλύτερη ευελιξία των δεκτών. Παράδειγμα του τελευταίου είναι η λειτουργία "AF" (εναλλακτικές συχνότητες, alternative frequencies) η οποία δίνει την δυνατότητα σε ένα δέκτη να μεταπηδήσει σε άλλη συχνότητα στην οποία εκπέμπει ο ίδιος σταθμός αλλά με ισχυρότερο ή καθαρότερο σήμα. Δεδομένου του εύρους των λειτουργιών που χρησιμοποιούνται στις ραδιοφωνικές εκπομπές, είναι πολύ καλή επιλογή για την ανάπτυξη προγραμμάτων που τις εκμεταλλεύονται, από απλές μέχρι περίπλοκες τόσο στο αναλογικό όσο και στο ψηφιακό τμήμα. Για το αναλογικό τμήμα, στο ένα άκρο έχουμε έναν απλό μονοφωνικό δέκτη ενώ στο άλλο άκρο έναν στερεοφωνικό δέκτη ο οποίος μετρώντας την καθαρότητα του λαμβανόμενου σήματος επιλέγει το ποσοστό χρήσης στερεοφωνίας ώστε να επιτύχει συμβιβασμό μεταξύ διαχωρισμού καναλιών (στερεοφωνικής εικόνας) και χαμηλού θορύβου. Στα πλαίσια της παρούσας διπλωματικής, αναπτύχθηκε πρόγραμμα σε γλώσσα C το οποίο εκτελεί λειτουργία δέκτη ραδιοφωνικού σήματος διαμορφωμένου αναλογικά κατά συχνότητα (FM radio). Στον προγραμματισμό χρησιμοποιήθηκαν τεχνικές Software Defined Radio (SDR). Επιπλέον, το πρόγραμμα εκτελεί λήψη ψηφιακού σήματος ραδιοφωνικών πληροφοριών (Radio Broadcast Data System, RBDS/RDS). Στόχος της διπλωματικής είναι η επίδειξη της εφαρμογής τεχνικών SDR στα πλαίσια της υλοποίησης τηλεπικοινωνιακών συστημάτων. Με την αύξηση της ανάγκης της βιομηχανίας αλλά και των χρηστών για ταχύτερη μετάδοση δεδομένων, επήλθε και αύξηση της περιπλοκότητας των μεθόδων διαμόρφωσης στα τηλεπικοινωνιακά συστήματα. Η περιπλοκότητα αυτή απαιτεί χρήση αλγορίθμων που είναι αδύνατη με συστήματα με διακριτά στοιχεία. Μία λύση στο πρόβλημα αυτό είναι η αξιοποίηση σύγχρονων μικροεπεξεργαστών, των οποίων η ισχύς, ειδικά αυτή των εξειδικευμένων σε DSP, έχει γνωρίσει αλματώδη εξέλιξη. Προκειμένου να καταστεί δυνατή η αξιοποίηση του κατάλληλου υλικού για τα τηλεπικοινωνιακά συστήματα, χρειάζεται κατάλληλη μέθοδος προγραμματισμού. Η ιδέα αυτή έχει ήδη χρησιμοποιηθεί σε εμπορικά συστήματα. Ένα παράδειγμα είναι modem κοινής τηλεφωνικής γραμμής (PSTN/POTS) για οικιακούς υπολογιστές που το μεγαλύτερο μέρος της αποδιαμόρφωσης και διαμόρφωσης το εκτελούσε η κεντρική μονάδα επεξεργασίας του υπολογιστή. Συνεπώς, υπάρχουν παραδείγματα εφαρμογής αυτής της τεχνικής με ήδη υπαρκτό υλικό, δεν απαιτείται εξειδικευμένο hardware. Η εξέλιξη της ιδέας και η ευκολότερη πρόσβαση σε υλικό κατάλληλο, οδήγησε στην ανάπτυξη του Software Defined Radio. Software Defined Radio είναι ένα σύστημα ασύρματης τηλέπικοινωνίας (αν και είναι απολύτως εφικτή και η εφαρμογή σε ενσύρματα συστήματα) όπου αλγόριθμοι και μέρη του συστήματος που τυπικά υλοποιούνταν με ηλεκτρονικά στοιχεία (πυκνωτές, αντιστάτες, κ.α.) πραγματοποιούνται με προγράμματα που εκτελούνται σε σύστημα με επεξεργαστή, μικροελεγκτή ή άλλο προγραμματιζόμενο σύστημα. Η ονομασία Software Defined Radio αναφέρεται, επίσης, στο πρόγραμμα που εκτελεί το ανωτέρω σύστημα. Σε αυτά τα προγράμματα, χρησιμοποιούνται κατά κύριο λόγο τεχνικές επεξεργασίας ψηφιακού σήματος (DSP). Ως παράδειγμα προς μελέτη της τεχνικής θα χρησιμοποιήσουμε ένα από τα πλέον γνωστά πρωτόκολλα, το οποίο δεν είναι τετριμμένο και χρησιμοποιείται ευρύτατα και στη σύγχρονη εποχή, το ραδιόφωνο FM. Το πρωτόκολλο FM είναι αρκετά απλό ώστε η ανάλυσή του να είναι προσβάσιμη χωρίς να απαιτεί εξειδικευμένες γνώσεις τηλεπικοινωνιακών συστημάτων, αλλά όχι τετριμμένο, ώστε να αναδεικνύει την χρησιμότητα της τεχνικής SDR. Ένας δεύτερος λόγος για αυτή την επιλογή είναι η ταυτόχρονη εκπομπή ψηφιακής πληροφορίας από τους σταθμούς. Η λήψη αυτών των πληροφοριών με τη χρήση SDR υπογραμμίζει την ευελιξία της τεχνικής, η οποία επιτρέπει τον ταυτόχρονο χειρισμό τόσο των αναλογικών πληροφοριών (ήχου, στη συγκεκριμένη περίπτωση) όσο και των ψηφιακών πληροφοριών (RBDS/RDS) από το ίδιο πρόγραμμα. Στο Κεφάλαιο 1 περιγράφεται η αρχή λειτουργίας της αναλογικής διαμόρφωσης κατά συχνότητα καθώς και η εφαρμογή της στη ραδιοφωνία. Ορίζονται οι σχετικές παράμετροι και καθορίζονται οι τιμές που λαμβάνουν στην κοινή ραδιοφωνία FM. Τέλος, περιγράφεται η μετάδοση ψηφιακών πληροφοριών με το πρωτόκολλο RDS. Στο Κεφάλαιο 2 περιγράφεται η δομή και λειτουργία ενός δέκτη FM με διακριτά στοιχεία. Αναλύεται η αρχή λειτουργίας του δέκτη, ονομάζονται μερικά από τα στοιχεία που χρησιμοποιούνται συνήθως και διαγράφονται βασικές ομοιότητες με τους δέκτες SDR. Στο Κεφάλαιο 3 περιγράφεται η αρχή λειτουργίας του SDR. Δίνονται παραδείγματα υλικού κατάλληλου για SDR και οι δυνατότητες που απαιτούνται. Δίνονται παραδείγματα λογισμικού κατάλληλου για SDR και παραδείγματα εφαρμογών του. Στο Κεφάλαιο 4 αναλύεται το υλικό που χρησιμοποιήθηκε και το πρόγραμμα που αναπτύχθηκε για την αποδιαμόρφωση σήματος FM και αποκωδικοποίηση σήματος RDS. Επίσης περιγράφεται το υλικό που χρησιμοποιήθηκε καθώς και τα κριτήρια επιλογής τους. Ορίζονται οι είσοδοι και έξοδοι του προγράμματος και περιγράφεται η δομή του. Αναλύεται η λειτουργία των επιμέρους στοιχείων του προγράμματος που αναπτύχθηκε και μελετάται η συμπεριφορά τους. Τέλος, αναλύεται η αποδιαμόρφωση και αποκωδικοποίηση του ψηφιακού σήματος (RDS) από το πρόγραμμα. Στα παραρτήματα δίδονται οι συντελεστές των ψηφιακών φίλτρων που χρησιμοποιήθηκαν στην ανάπτυξη του δέκτη, ο πλήρης κώδικας του δέκτη και οδηγίες για την δημιουργία φασματογραφημάτων με το MATLAB. / FM radio is one of the most widespread forms of data transmission, used even today, in an era where digital telecommunications are quickly spreading. Initially, it allowed transmission of only one audio channel, but it was extended to stereo (two channel) transmission, digital information methods of transmission were added (RDS/RBDS, DirectBand) for user information and for greater receiver versatility. One example of the latter is the AF ("alternative frequencies") functionality which allows a receiver to switch over to another frequency, carrying the same radio program but with better reception. Given the great width of functions that are used in radio transmissions, it is a very good choice for developing software that take advantage of them, from simple to complex, both in the analog and digital domain. For the analog domain, on one end, there may be a simple monophonic receiver and on the other end a stereo receiver which, according to the clarity of the received signal, can adjust the level of stereo separation to achieve a preferable compromise between stereo image and low noise audio. For the purposes of this project, a software program was written, in C, which functions as a frequency modulated, analog radio signal receiver (FM radio). Software Defined Radio techniques were used while developing this program. Additionally, the program performs RDS ("radio data system") signal reception. The objective of this project is to demonstrate the use of Software Defined Radio techniques in the development of telecommunication systems. The industry's, and the users', need for faster data transmission, brought an increase in modulation method complexity in telecommunication systems. This complexity requires use of algorithms that is impossible with systems with discrete components. One solution to this problem is via utilization of modern microprocessors, especially those specializing in DSP, the performance of which has increased dramatically. In order to be able to use the appropriate hardware in a telecommunication system using SDR, an appropriate method of programming them is necessary. This idea has been already used in commercial systems. One example are modems for the common copper telephone line (PSTN /POTS) for home computers, where most of the modulation and demodulation was performed by the computers central processor. Therefore, there are examples of applications of this method using common hardware. The evolution of this idea and the easier access to necessary hardware led to the development of Software Defined Radio. Software Defined Radio is a wireless telecommunication system (although a wired system is equally feasible) where algorithms and components that would, typically, be implemented with electronic elements (capacitors, resistors, etc) are realized with a software program running on a system with a microprocessor, microcontroller or other programmable device. The name Software Defined Radio is also used to refer to the program itself. In such a program, DSP techniques are commonly used. As an example for studying this method we are using one of the most widely known protocols, one that is not trivial and is widely used even in modern times, the FM radio. The FM protocol is simple enough so that its analysis is approachable without specialized knowledge of telecommunication systems, but not trivial, so that it demonstrates the usefulness of the SDR method. Another reason for this choice is the simultaneous transmission of digital information from an FM broadcast station. Reception of this signal, by the program, underlines the versatility of SDR, which allows simultaneous handling of both analog (audio, in this case) and digital (RDS) information. The first chapter presents the principle of operation of analog frequency modulation and its application in radio broadcasting. The respective parameters are defined and specific values for common FM radio broadcasting are given. Finally, digital data transmission via the RDS protocol is described. The second chapter presents the structure and functionality of an FM receiver implemented with discrete elements. Its principle of operation is analyzed, some of the more common elements used are named and similarities with SDR receivers are drawn. The third chapter presents the principle of operation of an SDR system. Examples of useful hardware and relevant requirements are given. Finally, examples of suitable software and respective applications are given. The fourth chapter presents an analysis of the hardware that was used and the software program that was developed for the demodulation of the FM signal and decoding of the RDS signal, along with the criteria for choosing them. The program structure is described and its input and output data signal formats are defined. The functionality of each component of the software program is analyzed and its behavior is studied. Finally, the demodulation and decoding process for the RDS signal by the program is analyzed. In the appendixes, the coefficients of the digital filters are listed, along with the full source code for the software program that was developed and, finally, a guide for creating spectral graphs with MATLAB, similar to those in section 4.3.2.

Cognitive radio is an autonomous transceiver that is continuously sensing theongoing communication in its environment, it then starts the communication whenever it is appropriate. Therefore, cognitive radio helps improving the spectrum utilization of the overall communication system. However, without suitable spectrum sensing techniques, cognitive radio would fail. Hence, in this thesis we investigate and implement various spectrum sensing algorithms via software defined radio for both single antenna and multiple antenna cases. The main communi-cation scheme that we are using is OFDM. Moreover, both computer simulations and real-world measurements, have also been done for comparison and analysis ofthe detector’s performance. The detectors we are using are based on correlationfunction of the received signal and generalized likelihood ratio test with its eigen-value. The results from the simulations and measurements are then representedas probability of missed detection curves for different signal to noise ratios. Ourresults show that the performance of the generalized likelihood ratio test baseddetectors are at least 2 dB better than the correlation based detector in our mea-surement. Moreover, our simulations show that they are able to outperform thecorrelation function detector by more than 6 dB. Although, generalized likelihoodratio test based detectors seem to be better than the correlation function baseddetector, it requires more computational power which may limit its practical use.

This thesis is germane to body-centric communication measurements and analyses at different frequency bands. It presents measurements and analyses of the radio channels for humans. This research contains a novel and comprehensive study of body-centric single input multiple output (SIMO) diversity. This has included the analyses of diversity techniques with off-body communications in different settings within indoor environments. The objectives in this research are; investigating the benefits of using multiple antennas for off-body and on-body channels and studying the performance of diversity antennas for off-body in different environments with both genders. A further novel aspect of this thesis has been concerned with off-body channel characteristics using software defined radio (SDR) and LabVIEW using different modulation schemes for measurements and analyses. This method combines processing and control in software, paired with SDR for the over the air interface. The combination of SDR and LabVIEW is shown to provide a platform to facilitate experiments in the presence of humans that is useful for prototyping different types of radio channels. This method also gives a new aspect for a novel treatment of a 2x2 body-centric multiple input multiple output (MIMO) system. It is shown how the difficulties associated with implementing MIMO systems can be overcome by using SDR combined with LabVIEW. Studying the effects of water in the body-centric communication channels are also a new area of research presented here. This work has shown how water encapsulated within Polyacrylamide gel can be exploited as a cheap and available material to enhance the performance of on-body antennas. It is shown that water gives 1–3dB enhancements from the measurements of SIMO and MIMO systems with the human presence.

The aim of the thesis is to find out the most suitable channel estimation algorithms for the existing MIMO-OFDM SDR platform. Starting with the analysis of several prevalent channel estimation algorithms, MSE performance are compared under different scenarios. As a result of the hardware independent analysis, the complexvalued matrix computations involved in the algorithms are decomposed to real FLoating-point OPerations (FLOPs). Four feasible algorithms are selected for hardware dependent discussion based on the proposed hardware architecture. The computational latency is exposed as a manner of case study.

The rapidly increasing capabilities of digital electronics have increased the demand of Software Defined Radio (SDR), which were not possible in the special purpose hardware. These enhanced capabilities come at the cost of time due to complex operations involved in multi-antenna wireless communications, one of those operations is complex matrix inversion. This thesis presents the verification and FPGA implementation of a SIMD processor, which was developed at Computer Engineering division of Linköping university, Sweden. This SIMD processor was designed specifically for performing complex matrix inversion in an efficient way, but it can also be reused for other operations. The processor is fully verified using all the possible combinations of instructions. An optimized firmware for this processor is implemented for efficiently inverting 4×4 matrices. Due to large number of subtractions involved in direct analytical approach, it losses stability for 4×4 matrices. Instead of this, a blockwise subdivision is used, in which 4×4 matrix is subdivided into four 2×2 matrices. Based on these 2×2 matrices, the inverse of 4×4 matrix is computed using the direct analytical approach and some other computations. Finally, the SIMD processor is integrated with Senior processor (a controlprocessor) and synthesized on Xilinx, Virtex-4 FPGA. After this, the performance of the proposed architecture is evaluated. A firmware is implemented for the Senior which uploads and downloads data/program into the SIMD unit using both I/O and DMA. / Den snabbt ökande prestandan hos digital elektronik har ökat behovet av Software Defined Radio (SDR), vilket inte var möjligt med tidigare hårdvara. Denna ökade förmåga kommer till priset av tidsåtgång, till följd av komplexa procedureri samband med trådlös kommunikation med flera antenner, en av dessa procedurer är komplex matrisinvertering. Denna avhandling presenterar verifiering och FPGA implementering hos en SIMD processor, vilken har blivit utvecklad vid institutionen för datorteknik, Linköpings universitet, Sverige. Denna SIMD processor blev specifikt designad för att genomföra komplex matrisinvertering på ett effektivt sätt, men kan också användas för andra tillämpningar. Processorn har testats och verifierats för alla möjliga kombinationer av instruktioner. En optimerad firmware för denna processor är implementerad för att effektivt invertera 4×4 matriser. På grund av att ett stort antal subtraktioner är inblandade i ett direkt analytiskt angreppssätt, så förlorar den stabilitet för 4×4 matriser. Istället används en stegvis indelning i underavdelningar, där 4×4 matrisen delasin i fyra 2×2 matriser. Baserat på dessa 2×2 matriser beräknas inversen av 4×4 matrisen med hjälp av ett direkt analytiskt angreppssätt samt andra beräkningar. Slutligen, SIMD processorn är integrerad i en huvudprocessor och körs påXilinx, Virtex-4 FPGA. Efter detta utvärderas prestandan hos den föreslagna arkitekturen. Firmware implementeras hos huvudprocessorn som laddar upp och ned data/program till SIMD enheten genom I/O samt DMA.

Abstract Multifunctional enzyme type 2 (MFE-2) catalyses the second and the third reactions in the eukaryotic peroxisomal β-oxidation cycle, which degrades fatty acids by removing a two-carbon unit per each cycle. In addition to the 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase 2 and (3R)-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase activities, mammalian MFE-2 has also a sterol carrier protein type 2-like (SCP-2L) domain. In contrast, yeast MFE-2 has two (3R)-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenases, one 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase 2 and no SCP-2L domain. The physiological roles of yeast (3R)-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenases (A and B) were tested by inactivating them in turn by site-directed mutagenesis and testing the complementation of Saccharomyces cerevisiae fox-2 cells (devoid of endogenous MFE-2) with mutated variants of Sc MFE-2. Growth rates were lower for fox-2 cells expressing only a single functional domain than for those expressing the Sc MFE-2. Kinetic studies with purified Candida tropicalis MFE-2 and its mutated variants show that dehydrogenase A catalyzes the reaction more efficiently with the medium- and long-chain substrates than dehydrogenase B, which in turn is the only one active with the short chain fatty acids. The structural basis of the substrate specificity difference of these two dehydrogenases was solved by X-ray crystallography together with docking studies. Protein engineering was used to produce a stabile, homogenous recombinant protein of C. tropicalis dehydrogenases in one polypeptide. The heterodimeric structure contains the typical fold of the short-chain alcohol dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) family. Docking studies suggest that dehydrogenase A binds medium chain-length substrates as bended, whereas short chain substrates are dislocated, because they do not reach the hydrophobic contacts needed for anchoring the substrate to the active site, but are instead attracted by L44. Dehydrogenase B has a more shallow binding pocket and thus locates the short chain-length substrates correctly for catalysis. Thus the data provide clues for structural basis of the different substrate specificities. The molecular basis of the patient mutations of MFE-2 (DBP deficiency) was studied using the recently solved crystal structures of rat (3R)-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, human 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase and SCP-2L. The predicted effect of the mutations on protein structure could in several cases be explained, and these data supported the conclusion that a genotype-phenotype correlation exists for DBP deficiency.

Abstract Multifunctional enzyme type 2 (MFE-2) is a peroxisomal enzyme participating in the breakdown of fatty acids in eukaryotes. Depending on the organism, MFE-2 is composed of two to four functional units, out of which the two enzymatic ones, 2-enoyl-coenzyme A (CoA) hydratase 2 and (3R)-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, are found in the all MFE-2s. These units are responsible for the catalysis of the second and third steps of the peroxisomal β-oxidation of various CoA thioesters of fatty acids and fatty acyl derivatives. Their (R)-stereospecificity and ability to accept a broad range of fatty acid CoA esters as substrates, in addition to the fact that they do not share any sequence similarity with the classical mitochondrial counterparts, make the enzymatic units of MFE-2 structurally very interesting. In this study, the three-dimensional structures of the (3R)-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase and 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase 2 units were solved by crystallographic methods. The crystal structure of the (3R)-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase unit of rat MFE-2 reveals a dimeric enzyme with an α/β short-chain alcohol dehydrogenase/reductase (SDR) fold. A unique feature of (3R)-hydroxyacyl-CoA dehydrogenase, however, is the separate C-terminal domain, which completes the active site cavity of the adjacent monomer and extends the dimeric interactions. The 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase 2 unit is a dimer with a unique two-domain structure proposed to evolve via gene duplication. The fold consists of two side-by-side arranged repeats of the hot-dog fold motifs, thus being highly reminiscent of the tertiary structures of the (R)-specific 2-enoyl-CoA hydratase of the polyhydroxyalkanoate synthesis pathway and the β-hydroxydecanoyl thiol ester dehydrase of fatty acid synthesis type II, both from prokaryotic sources. The importance of the N-domain in the binding of bulky substrates was shown by the enzyme-product complex structure, which also indicates the active site. For the first time, it was shown that the eukaryotic hydratase 2 uses an Asp/His catalytic dyad in catalysis. Moreover, a novel catalytic mechanism was proposed for (R)-specific hydration/dehydration. The solved structures also provide a molecular basis for understanding the effects of the patient mutations of MFE-2. They also allow disussion of the possible organisation of the three units in full-length MFE-2 of mammals.

[ES] En el marco de esta tesis se van a estudiar, principalmente, los efectos del movimiento de alta dinámica en receptores de Sistemas Globales de Navegación por Satélite (GNSS). El término alta dinámica es un término utilizado para referirse al movimiento de los vehículos en los que van embarcados receptores GNSS, los cuales se mueven lo suficientemente rápido como para causar un gran desplazamiento en frecuencia de la portadora debido al efecto Doppler. Se identificarán los problemas inherentes a este tipo de entornos y se estudiarán y propondrán soluciones. Para poder efectuar el estudio de estos fenómenos, se diseñará un demostrador tecnológico (conjunto de hardware y software para prueba y prototipado de tecnologías) en el que desarrollar el estudio de los casos de interés. Con el fin de trabajar en un entorno repetible, se utilizará un generador de señal GNSS. La señal generada se traslada a un receptor de radiofrecuencia definido por software, Software Defined Radio (SDR). Este tipo de receptor únicamente se encarga de digitalizar la señal de entrada y de llevar las muestras digitales a un ordenador, de modo que todo el procesado de señal se implementa en dicho ordenador. Este esquema de trabajo es ideal habida cuenta de su simplicidad y flexibilidad. Dicha flexibilidad conlleva la posibilidad de sintonizar el demostrador para poder estudiar una amplia gama de arquitecturas de receptor GNSS. Una vez se haya ensamblado el demostrador, se comprobará su correcto funcionamiento en escenarios conocidos usando los algoritmos más utilizados a día de hoy en receptores GNSS. Asegurado el correcto funcionamiento, se comparará el rendimiento de algoritmos de referencia con los algoritmos a estudiar y se extraerán conclusiones. / [CAT] En aquest treball s'estudiaran, principalment, els efectes del moviment d'alta dinámica en receptors de Navegació per Satèl.lit GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System). La denominació alta dinámica, s'utilitza per a descriure el moviment dels vehicles dins dels quals hi han receptors GNSS. El moviment d'aquests vehicles és suficientment ràpid com per a causar un gran desplaçament en freqüència de la freqüència portadora. Aquest desplaçament és consqüència de l'efecte Doppler. S'identificaran els problemes inherents d'aquest tipus de entorns GNSS i es propsararàn solucions. Per a estudiar l'efecte de l'alta dinàmica, es dissenyarà un demostrador tecnològic (conjunt de maquinari i software per a proves i prototipat de tecnologies) en que es pot desenvolupar l'estudi dels casos d'interès. Amb l'objectiu d'aconseguir treballar en un entorn repetible s'utilitzarà un generador de senyal GNSS. El senyal es processarà mitjançant un receptor SDR (Software Defined Radio). Aquest tipus de receptor s'encarrega del processat que fa un receptor GNSS en un PC. Aquesta filosofia de treball és idónia per la seua flexibilitat i simplicitat. Quan s'haja ensamblat el demostrador, és comprovarà el seu correct funcionament en escenaris de prova utilitzant els algoritmes implementats en receptors GNSS comercials. En aquest moment, el demostrador estarà preparat per a estudiar el casos d'alta dinàmica, que és l'objectiu fonamental d'aquest treball. / [EN] The study of the effects of the high dynamics on Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) receivers constitute the main matter of study in this work. The term high dynamics refers to the movement of vehicles that carry GNSS embedded receivers, which move fast enough to generate a large carrier frequency drift caused by the Doppler effect. The problems linked to these environments will be characterized and solutions to counteract possible signal impairments will be discussed. In order to correctly characterize these problems, a technological demonstrator (set of hardware components interacting with software tools enabling fast prototyping) will be designed and constructed. Using this technological demonstrator, different case studies will be developed. With the aim of achieving experimental repeatability, a GNSS signal generator will be used. The generated GNSS signal is fed to a Software Defined Radio (SDR) GNSS receiver. This receiver type is in charge of digitizing the analog RF signal and carrying the resulting samples to a computer in which signal processing tasks implementing the functions of GNSS receivers, take place. The main advantage linked to the usage of this work scheme is that by changing the software part, different receiver architectures can be implemented in a simple manner. Furthermore, by taking advantage of the flexible architecture it is possible to tune the detector in such a manner that it is possible to implement many different architecture types. Once the technological demonstrator is assembled, tests to assure its correct operation will be conducted by performing comparisons with the behaviour of well-known GNSS receivers in known scenarios. Later on, comparative tests using signals from high dynamics scenarios will take place. Insight and analysis of comparative performance will be given. / Alcaide Guillén, C. (2019).
