Reverberation Chamber Modeling Using Finite-Difference Time-Domain MethodPetit, Frédéric 12 1900 (has links)
Since the last few years, the unprecedented growth of communication systems involving the propagation of electromagnetic waves is particularly due to developments in mobile phone technology. The reverberation chamber is a reliable bench-test, enabling the study of the effects of electromagnetic waves on a specific electronic appliance. However, the operating of a reverberation chamber being rather complicated, development of numerical models are of utmost importance to determine the crucial parameters to be considered.This thesis consists in the modelling and the simulation of the operating principles of a reverberation chamber by means of the Finite-Difference Time-Domain method. After a brief study based on field and power measurements performed in a reverberation chamber, the second chapter deals with the different problems encountered during the modelling. The consideration of losses being a very important factor in the operating of the chamber, two methods of implementation of these losses are set out in this chapter. Chapter~3 consists in the analysis of the influence of the stirrer on the first eigenmodes of the chamber; the latter modes can undergo a frequency shift of several MHz. Chapter~4 shows a comparison of results issued from high frequency simulations and theoretical statistical results. The problem of an object placed in the chamber, resulting in a field disturbance is also tackled. Finally, in the fifth chapter, a comparison of statistical results for stirrers having different shapes is set out.

[en] EMBEDDED OTDR MONITORING SYSTEMS FOR NEXT GENERATION OPTICAL ACCESS NETWORKS / [pt] SISTEMAS INTEGRADOS DE MONITORAMENTO POR OTDR PARA REDES DE ACESSO ÓPTICO DE PRÓXIMA GERAÇÃO12 December 2017 (has links)
[pt] Para suportar os requisitos das redes móveis de 5a geração (5G), os
sistemas de comunicação óptica serão usados nas redes de acesso. Isso ocorre
porque a evolução das RAN (Radio Access Networks) incluem a centralização
do equipamento mais crítico para implantar pontos de acesso móveis de
baixa potência, como DAS (Distributed Antenna Systems) e Small Cells. Os
serviços emergentes solicitam a implantação de tecnologias de rádio sobre fibra
com ênfase na eficiência de largura de banda, eficiência energética e alta
confiabilidade. Neste âmbito, um monitoramento eficiente da camada física
é imperativo para a operação dessas redes. O sistema de monitoramento
deve fornecer uma localização de falhas em serviço, econômico, centralizado
e com impacto mínimo para a transmissão de dados. Esta tese propõe vários
sistemas de monitoramento incorporado no transceptor utilizando reflectometria
óptica no domínio do tempo. Os sistemas de monitoramento são
testados em diferentes sistemas de transmissão de dados e arquiteturas de
rede, onde é apresentada uma validação simulada e outras experimentais. / [en] In order to support the requirements for 5th generation mobile networks (5G), optical communication systems will be used in the access part of the network. This is because the evolution of radio access networks includes the centralization of the most critical equipment in order to deploy low power mobile access points, like distributed antenna systems and small cells. The emerging services call for the deployment of radio over fibre technologies with emphasis on bandwidth efficiency, energy efficiency and high reliability. Within this scope, an efficient monitoring of the physical layer would become essential for the operation of these networks. The monitoring system should provide in-service, cost efficient and centralized fault localization with minimum impact on data transmission. This thesis proposes
several transceiver-embedded optical time domain reflectometry monitoring systems. The monitoring systems are tested over different data transmission systems and network architectures, where one architecture was simulated and several others experimentally validated.

[pt] LASERS DE FIBRA DE MODO TRAVADO PARA REFLECTOMETRIA ÓPTICA NO DOMÍNIO DO TEMPO E SENSORIAMENTO / [en] MODE-LOCKED FIBER LASERS FOR OPTICAL TIME-DOMAIN REFLECTOMETRY AND SENSINGMARLON MEDEIROS CORREIA 16 May 2023 (has links)
[pt] Diferentes tipos de lasers podem ser usados para gerar pulsos de luz com
uma ampla faixa de durações de pulso, energias e potências de pico. As técnicas
de Q-switching e mode-locked são relatadas há anos por vários autores e
pesquisadores e são frequentemente utilizadas na geração de lasers de pulso
ultracurto com duração de pulso no domínio do tempo na faixa de nanossegundos
até femtossegundos. Uma configuração, com ganho fornecido por um
amplificador óptico semicondutor (SOA) e amplificador de fibra dopada com
érbio (EDFA) é proposta e emprega a técnica de gerenciamento de dispersão para
gerar um trem de pulsos ópticos exibindo alta potência de pico, taxa de repetição
ultra-baixa e largura temporal curta, habilitando que este laser seja usado como
uma fonte para aplicações de alta resolução em reflectometria óptica no domínio
do tempo (OTDR). A operação mode-locked é conhecida por ocorrer apenas em
lasers ordenados padrão por um longo tempo e até recentemente foi encontrado
também em lasers de fibra aleatórios desordenados (RFL). Embora tenha havido
progresso no sentido de travar modos espaciais e longitudinais em lasers
aleatórios, a literatura carece de relatos sobre geração de pulsos limitada por
transformada de Fourier, apesar das muitas décadas de campo. O autor demonstra
experimentalmente um mode-locked random fiber laser (MLRFL) operando como
um refletômetro óptico de domínio do tempo sensível à fase. Aqui, a
saída total do laser fornece o sinal de detecção, em contraste com o pequeno sinal
retroespalhado medido em um OTDR convencional. O laser opera como um
sensor acústico distribuído (DAS) e sensor de temperatura distribuído (DTS). / [en] Different types of lasers can be used to generate light pulses with a wide
range of pulse durations, energies and peak powers. Q-switching and mode-locked
techniques have been reported for years by several authors and researchers and are
frequently used in the generation of ultra-short-pulse lasers with time-domain
pulse durations from the nanosecond to femtosecond range. A configuration, with
gain provided by a semiconductor optical amplifier (SOA) and erbium-doped
fiber amplifier (EDFA) is proposed and employ the dispersion management
technique to generate a train of optical pulses exhibiting high-peak-power, ultralow repetition rate, and fast temporal width, enabling this laser to be used as a
source for high-resolution optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR)
applications. The mode-locking operation has been known to occur only in
standard ordered lasers for a long time and until recently it was found to also
occur in disordered random fiber lasers (RFL). Although progress has been made
towards locking spatial and longitudinal modes in random lasers, the literature
lacks reports on Fourier transform-limited pulse generation despite the many
decades of the field. The author experimentally demonstrates a mode-locked
random fiber laser (MLRFL) operating as a lasing phase-sensitive optical time domain reflectometer based on random feedback from a sensing fiber.
Here, the full output of the laser provides the sensing signal, in contrast to the
small backscattered signal measured in a conventional OTDR. The laser operates
as a distributed acoustic sensor (DAS) and distributed temperature sensor (DTS).

Ultrashort laser pulse shaping for novel light fields and experimental biophysicsRudhall, Andrew Peter January 2013 (has links)
Broadband spectral content is required to support ultrashort pulses. However this broadband content is subject to dispersion and hence the pulse duration of corresponding ultrashort pulses may be stretched accordingly. I used a commercially-available adaptive ultrashort pulse shaper featuring multiphoton intrapulse interference phase scan technology to characterise and compensate for the dispersion of the optical system in situ and conducted experimental and theoretical studies in various inter-linked topics relating to the light-matter interaction. Firstly, I examined the role of broadband ultrashort pulses in novel light-matter interacting systems involving optically co-trapped particle systems in which inter-particle light scattering occurs between optically-bound particles. Secondly, I delivered dispersion-compensated broadband ultrashort pulses in a dispersive microscope system to investigate the role of pulse duration in a biological light-matter interaction involving laser-induced cell membrane permeabilisation through linear and nonlinear optical absorption. Finally, I examined some of the propagation characteristics of broadband ultrashort pulse propagation using a computer-controlled spatial light modulator. The propagation characteristics of ultrashort pulses is of paramount importance for defining the light-matter interaction in systems. The ability to control ultrashort pulse propagation by using adaptive dispersion compensation enables chirp-free ultrashort pulses to be used in experiments requiring the shortest possible pulses for a specified spectral bandwidth. Ultrashort pulsed beams may be configured to provide high peak intensities over long propagation lengths, for example, using novel beam shapes such as Bessel-type beams, which has applications in biological light-matter interactions including phototransfection based on laser-induced cell membrane permeabilisation. The need for precise positioning of the beam focus on the cell membrane becomes less strenuous by virtue of the spatial properties of the Bessel beam. Dispersion compensation can be used to control the temporal properties of ultrashort pulses thus permitting, for example, a high peak intensity to be maintained along the length of a Bessel beam, thereby reducing the pulse energy required to permeabilise the cell membrane and potentially reduce damage therein.

Channel Modeling Applied to Robust Automatic Speech RecognitionSklar, Alexander Gabriel 01 January 2007 (has links)
In automatic speech recognition systems (ASRs), training is a critical phase to the system?s success. Communication media, either analog (such as analog landline phones) or digital (VoIP) distort the speaker?s speech signal often in very complex ways: linear distortion occurs in all channels, either in the magnitude or phase spectrum. Non-linear but time-invariant distortion will always appear in all real systems. In digital systems we also have network effects which will produce packet losses and delays and repeated packets. Finally, one cannot really assert what path a signal will take, and so having error or distortion in between is almost a certainty. The channel introduces an acoustical mismatch between the speaker's signal and the trained data in the ASR, which results in poor recognition performance. The approach so far, has been to try to undo the havoc produced by the channels, i.e. compensate for the channel's behavior. In this thesis, we try to characterize the effects of different transmission media and use that as an inexpensive and repeatable way to train ASR systems.

Minimization of Noise and Vibration Related to Driveline Imbalance using Robust Design ProcessesAl-Shubailat, Omar 17 August 2013 (has links)
Variation in vehicle noise, vibration and harshness (NVH) response can be caused by variability in design (e.g. tolerance), material, manufacturing, or other sources of variation. Such variation in the vehicle response causes a higher percentage of produced vehicles to have higher levels (out of specifications) of NVH leading to higher number of warranty claims and loss of customer satisfaction, which are proven costly. Measures must be taken to ensure less warranty claims and higher levels of customer satisfactions. As a result, original equipment manufacturers (OEMs) have implemented design for variation in the design process to secure an acceptable (or within specification) response. The focus here will be on aspects of design variations that should be considered in the design process of drivelines. Variations due to imbalance in rotating components can be unavoidable or costly to control. Some of the major components in the vehicle that are known to have imbalance and traditionally cause NVH issues and concerns include the crankshaft, the drivetrain components (transmission, driveline, half shafts, etc.), and wheels. The purpose is to assess NVH as a result of driveline imbalance variations and develop a tool to help design a more robust system to such variations.
