The receiver requires no knowledge of the hopping pattern or the dwell time of the FHSS signal. These parameters are re-engineered by the proposed block before the receiver is synchronized to the hopping signal. The implementation is independent of the modulation scheme that is applied to the individual channels. As part of a research project, the signal processing block is implemented with the intention of analyzing the radio communication of civilian drones. However, the concept presented in this paper can also be applied for other use cases.","PeriodicalId":336454,"journal":{"name":"2019 29th International Conference Radioelektronika (RADIOELEKTRONIKA)","volume":"2004 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114191145","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}

The proposed circuit is verified by pre-layout as well as post-layout simulations.

Impedance matching depends on the frequency region of interest, the impedance network configuration (NC), and the user-defined transmission mode. A cost function is used as an optimization criterion, which takes these dependencies into account. The NC is composed of differential and single-end port impedances. The port creation process is realised by the newly introduced port transformation matrices. Local optimization of the cost function is performed by variation of the complex-valued port impedances using an extended gradient descent algorithm.","PeriodicalId":336454,"journal":{"name":"2019 29th International Conference Radioelektronika (RADIOELEKTRONIKA)","volume":"3 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116136435","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}

A smart water meter, which enables monitoring the water consumption of the observed object, is used as the source of input data. Based on these data and their analysis, a symbolic regression, which must know not only the input parameters but also the structure of the model, was finally used to build the model. After finding a suitable function and standard deviation from the model, it is possible to set the required sensitivity and thereby detect anomalous states of water consumption in monitored time windows. Since the smart water meter also has a ball valve, if a sudden water leakage is detected, the water meter can autonomously close the main supply and thus avoid extensive damage.","PeriodicalId":336454,"journal":{"name":"2019 29th International Conference Radioelektronika (RADIOELEKTRONIKA)","volume":"46 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"115810603","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}

The convolutional neural network itself is used for the decision making about the pest bird occurrence, while sound recordings are used as input data.

At circuit level of abstraction, process parameter variations cause deviation in the design specifications which threaten the parametric yield, resulting cost implication on the semiconductor industry. Post-silicon tuning, such as Adaptive Body Bias (ABB) and Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) are the most commonly used techniques to mitigate the impacts of process parameter variations. However, since process parameter variations are getting aggravated with continued CMOS technology scaling, the achievable performance by ABB or DVS alone is becoming limited. In this paper, we first examine the effect of process parameter variations on parametric yield loss. Further, we propose a framework that integrates ABB and DVS techniques to effectively mitigate the impacts of process parameter variations even for sub-45nm CMOS technology. We test the proposed approach w.r.t. Hybrid Redundant Multiply-and-Accumulate (HR-MAC) unit, however the proposed approach can be utilized for any digital circuit.","PeriodicalId":336454,"journal":{"name":"2019 29th International Conference Radioelektronika (RADIOELEKTRONIKA)","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127162277","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}
