The diploma thesis deals with the modern design of the control circuits for digital potentiometers and their application in analog systems. The concept of the digital control is demonstrated on the electronically controlled active 2-nd order filter and programmable oscillator. The proposed design of the active filter describes a programmable active 2-nd order filter Sallen-Key. In this circuit it is possible independently programme cut-off frequency, Q factor and type of approximation with very good accuracy. The circuits of the designed filter and designed oscillator are simulated in PSpice (OrCAD), parasite effects and effects of the real parts are studied. Properties simulated circuits are compare with experimental results. These results appreciate quality and efficiency of the digitally controlled potentiometers in dependence on variable input circuit parameters. Integral part of this project is author’s universal control program called Digipot and comunications interface for many types of digital potentiometers with I2C, SPI or Up/Down interface. It is possible to use this device for many applications. The constructional details of the filter are presented at the end of this work. The software equipment is availability on enclosed CD.

In introduction of work, I presented the state of the art of measuring insertion loss of the EMI filter and the description of individual methods of measuring is also included. After that I dealt with global optimization methods and some of them I theoretically described. Mainly PSO method was studied carefully, and the principle of optimization in details are presented in the thesis, because this method was used for optimization of the filters parameters in the thesis. Next part of work deals with theoretical and mathematical expression of insertion loss of the EMI filters. Due to the mathematical expression of the insertion loss, the values of parasitic elements of given filter have been optimized in different measuring systems. This optimization was applied on synthetic data. By this step the functionality of optimization was proved and also the fitness function has been tuned and optimised. The last part of thesis works with optimization on measured data of given filters. I found out inaccuracy in mathematical expression of given model of EMI filter, therefore it was necessary to come up with the new filter model. The accuracy increases by using the new filter model. In next step the new model was enlarged by new spurious components.

Master’s thesis summs up issues of mounting pemanent magnets on rotor surface of permanent magnet synchronous machine. Literature reseach is divided in two parts. First one shows studies and experiments researching the impact of manufacturing tolerances of permanent magnets and wrong mounting on the rotor on cogging torque . The second part focus on analytical aproach of defining influence of permanent magnets on magnetic flux density in the air gap and phase induced voltage. Practical part focus on design of a prototype machine, wich will be used to research the impact of tolerances and imperfections. Parametric model of the prototype machine is created in Maxwell and is subjected to analysis via finite element method. Three different analysis were run, offset of permanent magnet, decrease and wrong dicertion of magnetization. At last the result of cogging torque and induced voltage are compared.

Hlavní devízou konceptu je modularita, kdy je základní stavební blok řady použitelný pro tvorbu komplexnějších řad a tento blok zároveň slouží jako šablona pro návrh komplexnější struktury. Anténní řada byla simulována a experimentálně ověřena pro frekvence 17 a 60 GHz. Na základě dosažených výsledků byla odvozena metodologie pro návrh a identifikovány klíčové oblasti návrhu. Následně práce představuje techniku zvýšení šířky pásma osového poměru kruhově polarizovaných anténních řad pomoci parazitních flíčků, které jsou umístěny nad zářiče v definované vzdálenosti. Anténní řada z první části práce byla použita v simulacích a experimentálním ověření pro frekvence 17 a 60 GHz, kdy byla tato řada rozšířena o parazitní strukturu, přidávajíc další vrstvu modularity do konceptu.

This thesis deals with RC oscillators applicable in higher frequency ranges with the use of modern active elements. For individual function blocks (conveyor, current feedback amplifier, operational transconductance amplifier, voltage feedback amplifier) suitable models are suggested for the circuit simulator PSpice covering their characteristics on various levels, from an ideal one up to the full description of parasitic effects. On the basis of the study of recommended literature and company documentation various oscillator connections of the ranks 2 and 3 are suggested. By analysis through computer (PSpice, SNAP) the fulfilment of oscillation conditions, onset of oscillations were verified and by means of suitable simulations the effects of the impact on the parasitic characteristics of active elements was examined. Finally there are two oscillator connections stated and verified by simulations with the possibility of electronic retuning.

Basic problems of the EMI mains filter is explained in the introduction of this thesis. These problems appear during the measurement of insertion loss of filters and by design of EMI mains filter. The important problem is uncertainly of the terminating impedances. Eventualities measurement insertion loss of EMI mains filter and motivation of creation filter models are shown. The following part of this project shows the electronic components, from which are realized the EMI mains filter. Parasitic properties of these real devices are also discussed. The circuitry of EMI mains filter is described by the Modified Nodal Voltage Method. The optimization method called Participle Swarm Optimization is introduced, too. Basic principle and terminology are mentioned. The third part of this project is focused on the own filter and spurious components. Influence of own filter and spurious filters components on insertion loss curve are showed. Magnetic factor coefficient k is searched by the optimization method PSO. The last part of this thesis deals with creation of the alternative circuits with spurious filters components. The performances of the alternative circuits were compared with the measured data for symmetrical and asymmetrical measurement setup. The breakages in the insertion loss curve were used for determining the spurious components.

This study investigates relaxation polarization in some dielectric components of tester UNISPOT S40 developed by company UNITES Systems a.s. Relaxation polarization in the PCB substrates and in tester’s cable insulation causes undesirable deceleration of some test steps. Relaxation polarization in selected PCB substrates and various cables are examined by method of dielectric relaxation spectroscopy in the frequency domain and by measurement of polarization or depolarization current.

This diploma thesis deals with the theoretical description of interference methods used to measure vibrations, examines main parasitic effects and analyses its contribution to achievable the resolution. In the practical part, it uses several measurements to verify the effects of the level of reflected beam, stand-off distance and speckle noise. It also proposes a practical experiment for measuring dynamic parameters and signal-noise ratio. Results show that, the noise is exponentially dependent on the level of the reflected beam. The visible maximum of the vibrometer proved to be critical in terms of time stability of the measured signal level in two of the three measurements. Results of the dynamic measurement show that, the measured deviations were not degraded or significantly disturbed by the noise signal. From the measurement of the speckle noise, it emerged that the lowest level of noise is achieved with smooth and highly reflective materials.
