The thesis deals with systems dedicated to time measurement with very high resolution. The resolution is in the order of picoseconds. The necessary part of the systems is their synchronization which is described in the thesis. These kinds of systems with such resolution follow ...

Low Density Parity-Check (LDPC) codes have become very popular because of their near Shannon limit performance when decoded using a probabilistic decoding algorithm. This work proposes several methodologies related to LDPC codes, including design of codes based on optimzation algorithms, mapping&...

Failures can occur at any time during the lifecycle in all possible condition. The environment in which a car can be used is quite broad. It reaches for example from temperatures of -40°C up to 125°C in the engine compartment. The applied architectures prevent that a ...

In recent years semiconductor detectors have proven to be excellent tools to measure ionizing radiation. Hybrid pixel detectors, latest development stage of semiconductor detectors, due to their high cost per area and the typically small unit size, are usually not employed for large...
