The paper shows that a good approximation of measured amplitude and phase characteristics can be made numerically by a rational function. If there is enough computation time, the complex transfer characteristic can be well approximated. Then zeros and poles can be found. Preliminary calculation reveals that the tested amplifier is not a minimum phase network.","PeriodicalId":149779,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Applied Electronics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115519057","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Rendering of dynamic source based on use of Head-Related Transfer Function is achieved by application of filtering with varying impulse response of the filter. This algorithm may be in its essence implemented by several methods, where each approach provides slightly different output signal resulting in variance of perception of spatial fidelity. The main difference results from different output of linear and circular convolution usually implemeted in such processing. Particular variants are described, discussed and compared by subjective listening test of the positioned signals. Other aspects of implementation as artifact occurrence are also discussed.","PeriodicalId":149779,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Applied Electronics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"124967792","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Heterojunction field effect transistors (HFETs), regardless the material used, exhibit exceptional power delivery at high frequencies and also outstanding capability to withstand the operation in a very harsh environment. These properties make HFET transistors an excellent candidate for the future electronic applications. Effective utilization of such excellent properties requires monolithic integration of E-mode and D-mode transistors on a single die. However, the fabrication process of the heterostructures themselves and HFET transistors are not that mature and reliable as it is in the case of other materials used in microelectronics. In this paper, we describe the design of a basic logic circuit using both E-mode and D-mode HFETs as well as design of the output buffer. Due to immaturity of the technological process and physical constraints, the properties of depletion load based inverters and various output buffers are investigated in details with regard to the robustness.","PeriodicalId":149779,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Applied Electronics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130837943","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This paper describes two systems using wireless transmission of information designed to measure physiological signals. The first system is system for automatic cardiopulmonary examination measuring and evaluating. The system measures heart rate, pulmonary ventilation, breathing frequency and blood pressure. From these data, many of other standard parameters are calculated. Application of this system is possible in work medicine, sport medicine and rehabilitation. The second system is a system for measuring and wireless transmission of selected physiological signals and variables. The system consists of wireless sensors, data transceivers and information system for the visualization and analysis of measurement data. This paper describes sensor for monitoring of body temperature and RF transceiver, which are being developed as part of the system. Temperature sensor is due to its high demand on low energy consumption not suitable for measuring signals, which will produce large amount of data and therefore consumes more energy on wireless transmission and processing of the data. Due to this reason, this sensor does not measure other signals and measure only temperature so fare. Other sensors, which will measure more physiological signals, like pulse rate, ECG and motion activity of monitored person will be developed in future. Possible use of the sensor or whole system is in a medical environment.","PeriodicalId":149779,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Applied Electronics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126898059","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

When an embedded system is operating in a critical environment, its reliability should be focused on. One of the methods for improving reliability of embedded systems is Control-flow checking (CFC) of the running program. It is known that the control-flow errors comprise between 33% and 77% of all errors in a computer system [1]. Nowadays there are many control-flow checking methods for different types of computer systems and with various designs. There are hardware checking methods using an external watchdog processor, software methods applied on commercial off-the-shelf processors or hybrid methods. In this paper we are dealing with problems of existing methods, identifying their parameters and presenting a new method of interactive hybrid control-flow checking. This method is a compromise among hybrid methods and tries to optimise the checking speed with high fault coverage.","PeriodicalId":149779,"journal":{"name":"2014 International Conference on Applied Electronics","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2014-09-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115165072","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
