- ItemChaotic systems based on higher-order oscillatory equations(NATURE PORTFOLIO, 2024-09-10) Petržela, JiříThis paper discusses the design process toward new lumped chaotic systems that originates in higherorder ordinary differential equations commonly used as description of ideal oscillators. In investigated thirdorder case, two chaotic oscillators were constructed. These systems are dual in the sense of vector field geometry local to fixed points. The existence of robust chaos was proved by both standard routines of numerical analysis and practical measurement. For the fourthorder oscillatory equation, the concept based on interaction between superinductor and supercapacitor was examined in detail. Since both “superelements” are active, the nonlinearity essential to the evolution of chaos is fully passive. It is demonstrated that complex motion is robust and does not represent long transient behavior or numerical artefact. The existence of chaos was verified using standard quantifiers of the flow, such as the largest Lyapunov exponents, recurrence plots, approximate entropy and sensitivity calculation. A good final agreement between theoretical assumptions and practical results will be concluded, on a visual comparison basis.
- ItemSurvey on 5G Physical Layer Security Threats and Countermeasures(MDPI, 2024-08-26) Harvánek, Michal; Bolcek, Jan; Kufa, Jan; Polák, Ladislav; Šimka, Marek; Maršálek, RomanWith the expansion of wireless mobile networks into both the daily lives of individuals as well as into the widely developing market of connected devices, communication is an increasingly attractive target for attackers. As the complexity of mobile cellular systems grows and the respective countermeasures are implemented to secure data transmissions, the attacks have become increasingly sophisticated on the one hand, but at the same time the system complexity can open up expanded opportunities for security and privacy breaches. After an in-depth summary of possible entry points to attacks to mobile networks, this paper first briefly reviews the basic principles of the physical layer implementation of 4G/5G systems, then gives an overview of possible attacks from a physical layer perspective. It also provides an overview of the software frameworks and hardware tool-software defined radios currently in use for experimenting with 4G/5G mobile networks, and it discusses their basic capabilities. In the final part, the paper summarizes the currently most promising families of techniques to detect illegitimate base stations-the machine-learning-based, localization-based, and behavior-based methods.
- ItemSinusoidal oscillator parametrically forced to robust hyperchaotic states: the lumpkin case(SPRINGER, 2024-06-24) Petržela, Jiří; Polák, LadislavThe objective of this paper is to showcase the capability of the conventional circuit structure known as the Lumpkin oscillator, widely employed in practical applications, to operate in robust chaotic or hyperchaotic steady states. Through numerical analysis, we demonstrate that the generated signals exhibit a significant level of unpredictability and randomness, as evidenced by positive Lyapunov exponents, approximate entropy, recurrence plots, and other indicators of complex dynamics. We establish the structural stability of strange attractors through design and practical construction of a flow-equivalent fourth-order chaotic oscillator, followed by experimental measurements. The oscilloscope screenshots captured align well with the plane projections of the approximate solutions derived from the underlying mathematical models.
- ItemSpecial Transfer Section for Selective Rejecting and Amplification of Bands in Equalization(IEEE-INST ELECTRICAL ELECTRONICS ENGINEERS INC, 2024-06-10) Šotner, Roman; Svoboda, Marek; Semenov, Dmitrii; Polák, Ladislav; Jeřábek, Jan; Theumer, Radek; Jaikla, WinaiThis paper introduces a novel and simple filtering topology for band-reject (notch) and inverse band-reject applications, utilizing two voltage-adjustable operational transconductance amplifiers. The utilization of these active devices enables the implementation of identical topologies for both band-reject and inverse band-reject transfer functions. The resulting responses are harnessed for the cascade synthesis of a specialized comb filter, capable of amplification or attenuating/rejecting specific bands shown on three sub-bands. Both the design of individual sections and the entire cascade have been experimentally verified using active devices manufactured in the TSMC 180 nm CMOS process. Measurements conducted over a range from 10 Hz to 100 kHz demonstrate the importance of the selective filtering, which is significant for various applications, particularly in acoustic, vibration, and magnetic sensing readouts. The example of peaking suppression in magnitude response of emulated environment (acoustic coupling of piezo and microphone) is shown.
- ItemOptimal Scanning Pattern for Initial Free-Space Optical-Link Alignment(MDPI, 2024-06-05) Skryja, Petr; Barcík, PeterSince free-space optical links (especially fully photonic ones) are very challenging to accurately align; scanning algorithms are used for the initial search and alignment of the transceivers. The initial alignment aims to intercept the optical beam so that it hits a position-sensitive detector. However, this operation can be very time-consuming (depending on the system parameters, such as transceiver parameters, distance between transceivers, divergence of the transmitter, angle of view of the receiver, etc.). A spiral scan is used as the most widespread pattern for scanning. This article examines the effects of system parameters (e.g., global navigation satellite systems and compass accuracy) on the angular area of uncertainty that must be scanned to find the optical beam. Furthermore, several types of spiral pattern are compared depending on the time of the scan execution and the required number of points for scanning the given uncertainty area. The cut hexagonal spiral scan achieved the best results as it required 18.1% less time than the common spiral scan for the presented transceiver.
