Transport Noise is an urgent and still unsolved environmental problem not only in Lithuania but also in the world over. The most common noise sources in the environment are traffic noise: road, rail and aircraft. In June 2002, the Commission issued a proposal for a European Directive on the assessment and management of environmental noise. The aim of this Directive shall be to define a common approach intended to avoid, prevent or reduce on a prioritised basis the harmful effects, including annoyance, due to exposure to environmental noise, to make noise maps for agglomerations, major roads, major railways and airports. A law on Noise Management and Higiene Standard HN 33-1:2003. Acoustic noise. Allowed levels in residented and work premises. was adopted in order to meet the requirements and implement European Directive on the assessment and management of environmental noise. Aim of the study – to investigate transport generating noise impact and to analyses traffic noise reduction policy. Objectives: 1) in order to annotate the topical of choisen method was needed to outspread noise conception and to separate out models acoording to theirs preeminence on purpose to reduce transportation noise; 2) to investigate and compare the features of Noise regulations, leading management programs and attendat legal acts of Member States of the European Union; 3) to assess the main sources of noise emissions and to estimate transportation noise impact to the environmental components...

The dissertation investigates the optical time domain reflectometer (OTDR) systems. The main object of research is an optical receiver for OTDR. The aim of the work is to create an optical receiver design method-ology to achieve optimal dynamic range of the system for a given band-width, design and investigate integrated fully differential variable gain tran-simpedance amplifier for OTDR optical receiver. Main tasks solved in this work are: perform analysis of OTDR struc-tures, main specifications and suggest possible improvement approaches; analyze main optical receiver noise sources and noise minimization and create generalized noise model; create optical receiver for an OTDR design methodology, that allow calculating avalanche photodiode multiplication factor, transimpedance amplifier feedback resistance and voltage amplifier input transistor dimensions that achieves optimal OTDR dynamic range; design and perform simulations of transimpedance amplifier integrated cir-cuit using AMS 0.35 µm CMOS technology and calculate optical receiver parameters in 0.1–100 MHz range of bandwidths The dissertation consists of four parts including Introduction, 4 chap-ters, Conclusions, References and 1 Annex. The introduction reveals the investigated problem, importance of the thesis and the object of research. It also describes the purpose and tasks, research methodology, scientific novelty, the practical significance of re-sults examined in the paper and defended statements. The...

Disertacijos tikslas – sukurti OI projektavimo metodiką, lei-džiančią pasiekti optimalų dinaminį diapazoną, suprojektuoti ir ištirti integ-rinį diferencinį pereinamos varžos stiprintuvą (PVS) su kintamu stiprinimo koeficientu. Darbe sprendžiami šie uždaviniai: atliekama OTDR ir jų pagrindinių charakteristikų analizė ir formuluojamos tobulinimo kryptys; analizuojami pagrindiniai optinio imtuvo triukšmų šaltiniai, jų mažinimo galimybės ir su-daromas apibendrintas optinio imtuvo triukšmų modelis; sukuriama OI pro-jektavimo metodika, leidžianti apskaičiuoti griūtinio fotodiodo dauginimo faktorių, pereinamosios varžos stiprintuvo grįžtamojo ryšio varžą ir įėjimo tranzistoriaus fizinius matmenis, kuriems esant gaunamas optimalus dina-minis diapazonas; projektuojamas optinio imtuvo maketas iš diskrečiųjų elementų ir tiriami jo parametrai; atliekamas integrinio PVS projektavimas ir modeliavimas, taikant 0,35 µm KMOP technologiją bei optinio imtuvo pa-rametrų skaičiavimas 0,1–100 MHz dažnių juostų diapazone. Disertaciją sudaro įvadas ir keturi skyriai. Pabaigoje pateikiami naudo-tos literatūros ir autoriaus publikacijų disertacijos tema sąrašai ir 1 priedas. Įvadiniame skyriuje aptariama: tiriamoji problema, darbo aktualumas, aprašomas tyrimų objektas, suformuluotas darbo tikslas bei uždaviniai, ap-rašoma tyrimų metodika... [toliau žr. visą tekstą]
