This Master’s thesis consists in evaluating a spherical microphone array developed in a previous project, which will be referred to later, that aimed to extract 3D Room Impulse Responses with a measurement system composed of the referred microphone, among other tools. We will focus on the accuracy of localization of the sound as a direct continuation of the previous work. It could be considered as the main application of this system, hence it is important to emphasize the need of this evaluation. The measurement system consists of a spherical antenna containing 16 microphones, two cards with 8 channels each and the associated signal treatment. Adobe Audition and the Matlab software are used in order to process the information which is provided by the measurement system. The current aim is to evaluate the precision provided by the system, which is evaluated in several situations. Different acoustics measurements have been taken in an anechoic room and also in a reverberant room. A calibration task can be found and additionally, the first measurements with their corresponding analysis are presented. After that, measurements with pure tones and impulse responses have carried out. In both parts, we focus on the horizontal plane. We introduce the diffuse field measurements using pure tones and pink noise. Then we treat the recorded information to show different diagrams obtained by different beamforming methods. I conclude that there are some unusual results but the microphone array works. The experimental study includes capturing the impulse responses and evaluating of different types of beamforming. We conclude that PWD beamforming works badly in the measurements of this project. We can also say that the sound field in the reverberant room is not really diffuse.

De opzet van dit onderzoek is een causaal verband proberen te vinden tussen de aandelenmarkt en wisselkoersen in Hongarije, gebruik makend van dagelijkse observaties voor de periode 01/01/2004 - 14/02/2013. Hierin wordt er ook nagegaan of er een verandering optreedt in het causaal verband wanneer er een crisis aanwezig is in de geobserveerde periode. Hier wordt de recent economische crisis, samen met de muntcrisis in Hongarije (01/10/2008 – 31/03/2009) opgenomen. Om de veranderingen in kaart te brengen werd de periode in drie deelperiodes opgedeeld: pre-crisis periode, crisis periode en after crisis periode. Het causaal verband is getest door gebruik te maken van de standard Granger causality test en de Granger causality- VAR test samen met een impuls response analyse. Doordat er unit root aanwezig is in de variabelen (getest a.h.v. Augmented Dickey- Fuller test), werden de eerste verschillen genomen om de causaliteit te testen. Dit zorgt ervoor dat de resultaten worden geïnterpreteerd als het causaal verband tussen de veranderingen (?) in de variabelen. Resultaten van de standard Granger causality test tonen een feedback relatie voor en tijdens de crisis, na de crisis is er een eenzijdig causaal verband van ? aandelen prijzen naar ? wisselkoersen (stock-oriented model). The Granger causality- VAR test toont een eenzijdig causal verband van ? aandelen prijzen naar ? wisselkoersen in de periode voor en na de crisis, tijdens de crisis werd er geen causaal verband gedetecteerd. De impuls response analyse geeft weer dat de response van de ? wisselkoersen voor en na de crisis negatief is in de eerste periode volgend op de schok in ? aandelen prijzen, deze stijgt vervolgens zeer snel naar zijn evenwichtstoestand (in de eerste vijf periodes).

This paper introduces a Spatial Vector Autoregressive Moving Average (SVARMA) model in which multiple cross-sectional time series are modeled as multivariate, possibly fat-tailed, spatial autoregressive ARMA processes. The estimation requires specifying the cross-sectional spillover channels through spatial weights matrices. the paper explores a kernel method to estimate the network topology based on similarities in the data. It discusses the model and estimation, focusing on a penalized Maximum Likelihood criterion. The empirical performance of the estimator is explored in a simulation study. The model is used to study a spatial time series of pollution and household expenditure data in Indonesia. The analysis finds that the new model improves in terms of implied density, and better neutralizes residual correlations than the VARMA, using fewer parameters. The results suggest that growth in household expenditures precedes pollution reduction, particularly after the expenditures of poorer households increase; that increasing pollution is followed by reduced growth in expenditures, particularly reducing the growth of poorer households; and that there are significant spillovers from bottom-up growth in expenditures. The paper does not find evidence for top-down growth spillovers. Feedback between the identified mechanisms may contribute to pollution-poverty traps and the results imply that pollution damages are economically significant.

Miniaturization of electronic devices and recent developments in wireless communication technology are leading to the creation of a range of personal information appliances, or biotic sensors, which can be attached to or implanted in human bodies. The wireless networking of such devices is known as the wireless body area network (BAN). BAN can share information effectively and securely, reduce functional redundancies, and allow new conveniences and services. Moreover, it provides new possibilities for high-quality service from hospitals, by linking various biotic sensors to establish a body-area network of personal health information. In Body Area Communications: Channel Modeling, Communication Systems, and EMC, Wang and Wang provide a systematic introduction to body area networks leading readers from an introductory level to in-depth and more advanced topics. . Provides a concise introduction to this emerging topic based on classroom-tested materials. Details the latest IEEE 802.15.6 standard activities. Moves from very basic physics, to useful mathematic models, and then to practical considerations. Covers not only EM physics and communications, but also biological applications. Topics approached include: link budget, bit error rate performance, RAKE and diversity reception; SAR analysis for human safety evaluation; and modeling of electromagnetic interference to implanted cardiac pacemakers . Provides Matlab and Fortran programs for download from the Companion WebsiteThis book is ideal for graduate students, engineers and researchers interested in body area networks, or those who would like to apply expertise in signal processing, application development and implementation, IC design, instrumentation, software framework, hardware/software optimization, distributed processing, and communications to BAN applications. Researchers and practicing engineers in biomedical engineering, who are interested in extending techniques to the wireless communications space, will also find this book to be a helpful reference.
