    The work is focused on measurement, simulation and compensation of chromatic dispersion (CD) and polarization mode dispersion (PMD) in single-mode optical fibers.

The most used methods for chromatic dispersion compensation are compensations with dispersion-compensating fiber (DCF), fiber Bragg grating (FBG) or higher-order mode fiber (HOM). Since polarization mode dispersion is quite random phenomenon, it is difficult to eliminate. Nevertheless, there are some methods how to mitigate the effect of PMD. One of the possibilities is to use FEC (forward error correction) coding, wavelengths redundancy in WDM (wavelength division multiplexing) networks or other optical and electrical compensation methods.

  57. Utilization of compressed sensing for acquisition and processing magnetic resonance data

    Apriori known signal characteristics can be used to accelerate the measurements of MRI scans. The study would focus on the use of these properties and their inherited techniques.

    Supervisor: Rajmic Pavel, prof. Mgr., Ph.D.

  58. Utilization of RC Elements with Distributed Parameters in Electrical Circuits, Fractal Circuits

    The topic aims at the research into utilization of resistive-capacitive elements with distributed parameters (RC-EDP) in electrical circuits especially with modern active elements (conveyors, current amplifiers etc.). In particular it will include design of so-called fractal circuits which have non-integer order of transfer or immittance function and which can be implemented by RC-EDP. It is expected proposing new frequency filters, oscillators, synthetic immittance elements and other circuits. The aim will be improving properties compared to existing circuits (reducing dimensions, increasing response speed, decreasing power consumption etc.) and moreover obtaining characteristics that cannot be realized by classical elements or only at the cost of using complex structures.

  59. Utilization of sparse signal representations for their processing

    This recent area of research is based on the assumption that the observed signal is sparse with respect to a basis (i.e. it has only several non-zero coefficients). This assumption is usually met in the case of real images, but also locally in audio, so sparsity-based modern methods (compressed sensing, inpainting, denoising, deblurring and others) are advantageously used.
