Thesis (EE)

 

From October 1998 until September 1999, at Rohde & Schwarz.

Development, simulation (Serenade), building and verification of a directional coupler, to measure the transmission power and the by the antenna reflected power in radios for Air Traffic Control.

Specifications of the directional coupler:

 

Parameter Value
Technology Stripline
Substrate εr = 3.4
Bandwidth 100MHz ... 512MHz
Power 200W
Coupling paths 2, symmetric to signalpath
Coupling <= -30dB
Directivity > 30dB
Frequenzy response
Correction of the frequenzy response of the directional coupler with analog cicuits (and digital) 		<= 2dB (0.2dB)
Rectification and AM - Demodulation of coupled signal  

 

The thesis was written with LATEX.

 

 

Thesis (Physics)

 

Spring/Summer 2014, at the University Observatory Munich.
