The thesis is aimed to analyze parameters of antennas, and work out the computer, which can be used to the modeling of the radiation of antennas of the VUT 100 aircraft. First, used antennas are divided according to the operation frequencies, and the polarization. Second, a MATLAB program is developed and described. The program computes radiation patterns at different frequencies for the different location of antennas on the VUT aircraft. Finally, the MATLAB optimization program is develop and described. The program changes the position of antennas so that the requirements of aircraft producer can be met.

This thesis theoretically investigates the electronic transport properties of defective carbon nanotubes (CNTs). For the defects the focus is set to vacancy types. The calculations are performed using quantum transport theory and an underlying density-functional-based tight-binding method. Two algorithmic improvements are derived, which accelerate the common methods for quasi one-dimensional systems for the specific case of (i) randomly distributed defects and (ii) long unit cells. With this, the transmission spectrum and the conductance is calculated as a function of the CNT length, diameter, chiral angle, defect type, defect density, defect fraction, and temperature. The diffusive and the localized transport regime are described by extracting elastic mean free paths and localization lengths for metallic and semiconducting CNTs. Simple analytic models for estimating or even predicting the conductance dependence on the mentioned parameters are derived. Finally, the formation of defect-induced long-range deformations and its influence on the conductance are studied.:1 Introduction 2 Fundamentals 2.1 Carbon nanotubes 2.1.1 Structure 2.1.2 Properties 2.1.3 Defects 2.1.4 Synthesis 2.1.5 Characterization 2.1.6 Applications 2.2 Electron structure theory 2.2.1 Introduction 2.2.2 Density functional theory 2.2.3 Density-functional-based tight binding 2.2.3.1 First-order expansion 2.2.3.2 Creation of the parameter set 2.2.3.3 Second-order expansion 2.2.3.4 Usage 2.3 Electron transport 2.3.1 Equilibrium Green’s-function-based quantum transport theory 2.3.2 Transport regimes 2.3.3 Classical derivation: drift-diffusion equation with a sink 2.3.4 Quantum derivation: Dorokhov-Mello-Pereyra-Kumar theory A Improved recursive Green’s function formalism for quasi one-dimensional systems with realistic defects (J.

Dabei werden Vakanzen als Defekte fokussiert behandelt. Die Berechnungen werden mittels Quantentransporttheorie und einer zugrunde liegenden dichtefunktionalbasierten Tight-Binding-Methode durchgeführt. Zwei algorithmische Verbesserungen werden hergeleitet, welche die üblichen Methoden für quasi-eindimensionale Systeme für zwei spezifische Fälle beschleunigen: (i) zufällig verteilte Defekte und (ii) lange Einheitszellen. Damit werden das Transmissionsspektrum und der Leitwert als Funktion von CNT-Länge, Durchmesser, chiralem Winkel, Defekttyp, Defektdichte, Defektanteil und Temperatur berechnet. Das Diffusions- und das Lokalisierungstransportregime werden beschrieben, indem die elastische freie Weglänge und die Lokalisierungslänge für metallische und halbleitende CNTs extrahiert werden. Einfache analytische Modelle zur Abschätzung bis hin zur Vorhersage des Leitwertes in Abhängigkeit besagter Parameter werden abgeleitet. Schlussendlich werden die Bildung einer defektinduzierten, langreichweitigen Deformation und deren Einfluss auf den Leitwert studiert.:1 Introduction 2 Fundamentals 2.1 Carbon nanotubes 2.1.1 Structure 2.1.2 Properties 2.1.3 Defects 2.1.4 Synthesis 2.1.5 Characterization 2.1.6 Applications 2.2 Electron structure theory 2.2.1 Introduction 2.2.2 Density functional theory 2.2.3 Density-functional-based tight binding 2.2.3.1 First-order expansion 2.2.3.2 Creation of the parameter set 2.2.3.3 Second-order expansion 2.2.3.4 Usage 2.3 Electron transport 2.3.1 Equilibrium Green’s-function-based quantum transport theory 2.3.2 Transport regimes 2.3.3 Classical derivation: drift-diffusion equation with a sink 2.3.4 Quantum derivation: Dorokhov-Mello-Pereyra-Kumar theory A Improved recursive Green’s function formalism for quasi one-dimensional systems with realistic defects (J.

La nécessaire représentation en échelle du monde nous amène à expliquer pourquoi la théorie des ondelettes en constitue le formalisme le mieux adapté. Ses performances sont comparées à d'autres outils : la méthode des étendues normalisées (R/S) et la méthode par décomposition empirique modale (EMD).La grande diversité des bases analysantes de la théorie des ondelettes nous conduit à proposer une approche à caractère morphologique de l'analyse. L'exposé est organisé en trois parties.Le premier chapitre est dédié aux éléments constitutifs de la théorie des ondelettes. Un lien surprenant est établi entre la notion de récurrence et l'analyse en échelle (polynômes de Daubechies) via le triangle de Pascal. Une expression analytique générale des coefficients des filtres de Daubechies à partir des racines des polynômes est ensuite proposée.Le deuxième chapitre constitue le premier domaine d'application. Il concerne les plasmas de bord des réacteurs de fusion de type tokamak. Nous exposons comment, pour la première fois sur des signaux expérimentaux, le coefficient de Hurst a pu être mesuré à partir d'un estimateur des moindres carrés à ondelettes. Nous détaillons ensuite, à partir de processus de type mouvement brownien fractionnaire (fBm), la manière dont nous avons établi un modèle (de synthèse) original reproduisant parfaitement la statistique mixte fBm et fGn qui caractérise un plasma de bord. Enfin, nous explicitons les raisons nous ayant amené à constater l'absence de lien existant entre des valeurs élevées du coefficient d'Hurst et de supposées longues corrélations.Le troisième chapitre est relatif au second domaine d'application. Il a été l'occasion de mettre en évidence comment le bien-fondé d'une approche morphologique couplée à une analyse en échelle nous ont permis d'extraire l'information relative à la taille, dans un écho rétrodiffusé d'une cible immergée et insonifiée par une onde ultrasonore / The necessary scale-based representation of the world leads us to explain why the wavelet theory is the best suited formalism. Its performances are compared to other tools: R/S analysis and empirical modal decomposition method (EMD). The great diversity of analyzing bases of wavelet theory leads us to propose a morphological approach of the analysis. The study is organized into three parts. The first chapter is dedicated to the constituent elements of wavelet theory. Then we will show the surprising link existing between recurrence concept and scale analysis (Daubechies polynomials) by using Pascal's triangle. A general analytical expression of Daubechies' filter coefficients is then proposed from the polynomial roots. The second chapter is the first application domain. It involves edge plasmas of tokamak fusion reactors. We will describe how, for the first time on experimental signals, the Hurst coefficient has been measured by a wavelet-based estimator. We will detail from fbm-like processes (fractional Brownian motion), how we have established an original model perfectly reproducing fBm and fGn joint statistics that characterizes magnetized plasmas. Finally, we will point out the reasons that show the lack of link between high values of the Hurst coefficient and possible long correlations. The third chapter is dedicated to the second application domain which is relative to the backscattered echo analysis of an immersed target insonified by an ultrasonic plane wave. We will explain how a morphological approach associated to a scale analysis can extract the diameter information
