This dissertation focuses on wideband circuit design and implementation issues up to 10GHz based on the direct conversion architecture in the CMOS and SiGe BiCMOS technologies. The dissertation consists of two parts: One, implementation of a RF front-end receiver for an ultra-wideband system and, two, implementation of a local oscillation (LO) signal for a GSM/WCDMA multiband application. For emerging ultra-wideband (UWB) applications, the key active components in the RF front-end receiver were designed and implemented in 0.18um SiGe BiCMOS process. The design of LNA, which is the critical circuit block for both systems, was analyzed in terms of noise, linearity and group delay variation over an extemely wide bandwidth. Measurements are demonstrated for an energy-thrifty UWB receiver based on an MB-OFDM system covering the full FCC-allowed UWB frequency range.
For multiband applications such as a GSM/WCDMA dual-band application, the design of wideband VCO and various frequency generation blocks are investigated as alternatives for implementation of direct conversion architecture. In order to reduce DC-offset and LO pulling phenomena that degrade performance in a typical direct conversion scheme, an innovative fractional LO signal generator was implemented in a standard CMOS process. A simple analysis is provided for the loop dynamics and operating range of the design as well as for the measured results of the factional LO signal generator.

Les progrès récents dans le domaine des technologies biomédicales et de la santé connectée ont considérablement accéléré le développement de dispositifs flexibles et portables pour une surveillance continue de la santé. Le marché de l'Internet des Objets Médicaux (IoMT) devrait connaître une croissance rapide avec un taux annuel de 38.5% entre 2024 et 2032, largement porté par les Réseaux de Capteurs Corporels Sans Fil (WBAN). Cependant, la conception de dispositifs IoT portables, miniaturisés et biocompatibles, capables de fonctionner de manière autonome, reste un défi majeur, en particulier pour les capteurs physiologiques. Cette thèse propose le développement d’un système portable de récupération d'énergie sous la forme d’un dispositif appliqué sur la peau, destiné à la surveillance de l'état physiologique. L’un des principaux défis de ce travail réside dans l’impact du corps humain sur les performances des antennes, qui sont directement influencées lorsqu’elles sont positionnées sur la peau. Les Conducteurs Magnétiques Artificiels (AMC) apparaissent comme une solution prometteuse en tant que réflecteurs pour des antennes à faible profil fonctionnant dans les bandes GSM et WiFi. Grâce à leurs propriétés de réflexion à phase nulle, les AMCs permettent d’améliorer les performances des antennes tout en éliminant la nécessité d’un plan de masse volumineux de type quart d’onde. Les tests expérimentaux réalisés sur une antenne à double bande équipée d’un AMC ont démontré une distorsion minimale des performances pour les applications WBAN. Enfin, l’intégration d’un convertisseur RF-DC permet à la rectenna de fonctionner comme un collecteur d’énergie portable et autonome, tout en fournissant une tension redressée de 1V à environ -17.5 dBm, ce qui est suffisant pour alimenter certains capteurs physiologiquesRecent advancements in remote healthcare and biomedical technologies are rapidly accelerating the development of flexible, wearable devices for continuous health monitoring. The Internet of Medical Things (IoMT) market is projected to grow at a Compound Annual Growth Rate (CAGR) of 38.5% between 2024 and 2032, with Wireless Body Area Networks (WBAN) serving as a critical driver of this growth. Thus far, the expansion of IoT devices has faced challenges in designing wearable, miniaturized, and biocompatible prototypes with power-autonomous operation for physiological sensors. Therefore, this thesis aims to develop a wearable Energy-Harvesting (EH) system, in the form of a skin-applied device, designed for monitoring physiological conditions. The primary challenge of this research is the impact of the human body on the antenna system's performance when positioned directly on the skin. The body absorbs part of the radiation, which significantly reduces the efficiency of the EH system. In this context, Artificial Magnetic Conductors (AMC)s present a promising solution as reflectors for low-profile antennas, in the GSM and WiFi bands. By leveraging their inherent zero-phase reflection properties, AMCs improve antenna performance while eliminating the need for a bulky quarter-wave backplane. The real-world tests of the dual-band AMC-backed antenna showed minimal performance distortion for WBAN applications. Finally, the integration of a designed RF-to-DC converter enables the rectenna to function as an autonomous wearable energy harvester, providing a rectified voltage of 1V at approximately -17.5 dBm, suitable for powering certain physiological sensors

This master’s thesis deals with user influence on miniature antennas in mobile application. Electrically small antennas including fundamental performance properties and limitations are introduced in the theoretical section of this thesis. This section also deals with microstrip antennas and their common types. The accent is on PIFA antennas, their typical constructions and methods of miniaturization. In the practical section, dual-band PIFA antenna for operation at frequencies of systems GSM900 and GSM1800 is designed with the assistance of electromagnetic field simulator CST Microwave Studio. On this type of antenna, the user influence on impedance matching and radiation pattern in data mode (the user is typing message or browsing with the phone) is investigated. For this purpose the hand phantom, corresponding to author’s right hand, was made from agar based material. For typical position of human hand is designed matching network, which eliminate the user influence and ensure correct function of antenna.

Le brouillard électromagnétique dans lequel nous vivons en permanence estaujourd’hui montré du doigt car, outre les risques sanitaires qu’il pourrait engendrer, illimite l’usage de certaines technologies. L’importance des interférences entre réseauxsans fil, ou la peur du piratage sur ces mêmes réseaux, en sont deux exemples. Cetravail de thèse vise à développer un nouveau moyen de protection contre certaines deces ondes électromagnétiques. Plus spécifiquement, ce travail se focalise sur unetechnologie capable de filtrer uniquement les ondes WiFi et GSM à travers de grandessurfaces d’une habitation, comme un mur. Pour ce faire, la fonctionnalisation d’uncomposant standard des bâtiments, le papier-peint, a été étudié.L’utilisation de surfaces sélectives en fréquence a été retenue. Ces motifs sontdirectement imprimés sur du papier à l’aide d’encre conductrice et de la techniqued’impression flexographique. L’étude s’est également portée sur la réalisation de motifsde filtrage innovants. Les résultats de simulation montrent qu’ils sont capables de filtrerdeux ou trois bandes, qu’ils sont quasiment insensibles à la polarisation et à l’angled’incidence dans une plage allant de 0° à ± 80°. Le travail a ensuite permis dedémontrer la faisabilité pratique de ce concept aux stades laboratoire et industriel.Ensuite, nous avons démontré expérimentalement l’efficacité de ce concept dans lesbandes WiFi. La transmission atteint alors -30 dB. Enfin, une validation expérimentaledu produit en situation réelle a été menée, à savoir la pose du papier-peint sur du plâtre,du bois, l’influence de la colle ou encore la pose d’une couche de papier-peint décoratifpar-dessus le produit.En conclusion, les résultats pratiques obtenus confirment les résultats théoriquesestimés et, permettent à ce nouveau concept, appelé métapapier, d’être suffisammentefficace pour permettre la réduction des ondes WiFi ou GSMThe electromagnetic smog in which we live today is nowadays a real issue because it limits the use of certain technologies and also because there are some potential health risks associated with it, even if the latter is still a controversial subject. The importance of the interferences between wireless networks or the possibility of data hacking on the same networks are two examples. The aim of this thesis is to develop a new way to protect buildings against some of these electromagnetic waves. More specifically, this work focuses on a technology able to filter only the WiFi and the GSM waves through large areas of a home, like a wall for example. To do this, the functionalization of a standard component of buildings, the wallpaper, was studied. The use of frequency selective surface (FSS) was chosen. These patterns are printed directly on paper with a conductive ink printing technology: the flexography. The study also focuses on the realization of innovative filter designs. Simulation results show that these novel FSS are able to filter two or three bands. They are almost insensitive to the polarization and to the angle of incidence in the range of 0° to ±80°. The realization feasibility of this concept in a laboratory or in industrial conditions was demonstrated. Next, an experimental demonstration of this concept in the WiFi bands was carried out. In this context, the transmission coefficient was reached -30 dB. Finally, an experimental validation of the product in real conditions of use was conducted, namely the wallpaper was put over plasterboards or over wood panels. Also, the influence of the glue on the general performances and the placement of a decorative wallpaper over the FSS wallpaper were studied. In conclusion, the practical results obtained confirm and validate the theoretical predictions of this new concept, called metapaper, and show that the practical realizations are efficient enough to allow the reduction of WiFi or GSM signals

Ce travail apporte également en avant quelques problèmes au niveau du système et met également en lumière les défis dans le fonctionnement des stations de base multi-standardContemporary telecommunication Base-Stations for GSM/EDGE, WCDMA/HSPA and LTE are increasingly complex and energy intensive. The favoured solution is a truly multi-standard transmitter known as a single Radio Access Network (single-RAN). Modern base station transmitters are often multi-standard, in that they can support different air-interface standards or modes. However, this is achieved not through concurrent operation of the different standards or 'modes', but by means of reconfiguration, which is inefficient and expensive. We envision a practical, fully multi-mode transmitter capable of simultaneously supporting GSM/EDGE, WCDMA/HSPA and LTE carriers. The evolution of 3GPP standards towards multi-mode operation is in the nascent stage. To contribute to this effort, our work revisits the architecture of the traditional macro-cell Base-Station transmitter in order to analyse and define performance requirements for a multi-standard cellular radio platform. Our system analysis and design also identifies a potential bottleneck in the proposed multi-mode chain, for which analysis is presented. Consequently and lastly, we propose the conceptual design of a variable-gain Analog Quadrature Modulator that bypasses the bottleneck, highlighting scope for future development and validation of this work. This work also brings forth some system-level issues and also highlights challenges in the operation of multi-standard Base-Stations. Some of these include multi-mode signal crest-factor reduction, carrier-to-carrier interference mitigation, per-carrier power-control, etc

Desde que surgiram as primeiras redes comerciais,em 1991, o número de utilizadores tem aumentado continuamente. Mais recentemente, os sistemas celulares de terceira geração, entre osquais o UMTS, vieram colmatar algumas insuficiências do GSM aopermitirem acessos de alto débito para suporte de serviços de banda larga,tais como, acesso à Internet e aplicações multimédia. Actualmente, face às elevadas taxas de penetração e de utilização dos sistemas GSM e UMTS, a qualidade de serviço na perspectiva do utilizador assume-se como uma das principais vantagens competitivas dosoperadores presentes no mercado.Cada vez mais os consumidores procuram nos serviços simplicidade de utilização e qualidade superior, ininterruptamente e em qualquer lugar. Nesta dissertação são definidos indicadores de qualidade de serviço eperfis de medida que permitem avaliar o desempenho dos serviços de telefonia (voz e videotelefonia), mensagens (SMS e MMS) e dados (HTTPbrowsing, FTP upload/download e E-Mail send/receive) suportados em sistemas de comunicações móveis GSM e UMTS. Para validação dos indicadores de desempenho e perfis de medida,apresentam-se os resultados de uma análise aos serviços de telefonia, mensagens e dados, de dois operadores GSM/UMTS portugueses. ABSTRACT: The advent of GSM has changed significantly the telecommunications landscape. Since the launch of the first commercial network, in 1991,the number of subscribers has increased continuously. More recently, third generation cellular systems, in particular UMTS, went beyond GSM limitations, leveraging high-speed access and broadband services, such as internet and multimedia applications. Nowadays, due to high penetration and usage of GSM and UMTS systems, the quality of service built upon the user’s point of view is one ofcornerstones where operators seek to take competitive advantages. Consumers increasingly search for ease-of-use and superior quality, anytime and anywhere. This dissertation provides quality of service indicators and measurement profiles that allow a performance evaluation, on telephony (voice and video), messaging (SMS and MMS) and data (HTTP browsing, FTPupload/download and E-mail send/receive) services, of the GSM and UMTS mobile communications systems. To validate the performance indicators and the measurement profiles, the results of an analysis on telephony, messaging and data services,of two Portuguese GSM/UMTS operators, are provided.

This project presents the description, design and the implementation of a 4-channel microphone array that is an adaptive sub-band generalized side lobe canceller (GSC) beam former uses for video conferencing, hands-free telephony etc, in a noisy environment for speech enhancement as well as noise suppression. The side lobe canceller evaluated with both Least Mean Square (LMS) and Normalized Least Mean Square (NLMS) adaptation. A testing structure is presented; which involves a linear 4-microphone array connected to collect the data. Tests were done using one target signal source and one noise source. In each microphone’s, data were collected via fractional time delay filtering then it is divided into sub-bands and applied GSC to each of the subsequent sub-bands. The overall Signal to Noise Ratio (SNR) improvement is determined from the main signal and noise input and output powers, with signal-only and noise-only as the input to the GSC. The NLMS algorithm significantly improves the speech quality with noise suppression levels up to 13 dB while LMS algorithm is giving up to 10 dB. All of the processing for this thesis is implemented on a computer using MATLAB and validated by considering different SNR measure under various types of blocking matrix, different step sizes, different noise locations and variable SNR with noise.Mamun Ahmed E-mail: mamuncse99cuet@yahoo.com

The aim of Human Computer Interaction or HCI is to both understand and improve the quality of the users' experience with the systems and technology they interact with. Recent HCI research requirements have stated a need for a unified predictive approach to system design that consolidates system engineering, cognitive modelling, and design principles into a single 'total system approach.' At present, few methods seek to integrate all three of these aspects into a single method and of those that do many are extensions to existing engineering techniques. This thesis, however proposes a new behaviour based approach designed to identify usability problems early in the design process before testing the system with actual users. In order to address the research requirements, this model uses a new design notation called Genetic Software Engineering (GSE) in conjunction with aspects of a cognitive modelling technique called NGOMSL (Natural GOMS Language) as the basis for this approach. GSE's behaviour tree notation, and NGOMSL's goal orientated format are integrated using a set of simple conversion rules defined in this study. Several well established design principles, believed to contribute to the eventual usability of a product, are then modelled in GSE. This thesis addresses the design of simple interfaces and the design of complex ubiquitous technology. The new GSE approach is used to model and predict usability problems in an extensive range of tasks from programming a VCR to making a video recording on a modern mobile phone. The validity of these findings is tested against actual user tests on the same tasks and devices to demonstrate the effectiveness of the GSE approach. Ultimately, the aim of the study is to demonstrate the effectiveness of the new cognitive and engineering based approach at predicting usability problems based on tangible representations of established design principles. This both fulfils the MCI research requirements for a 'total system approach' and establishes a new and novel approach to user interface and system design.

L'explosion de la téléphonie cellulaire et le déferlement de normes de communication mobiles de couverture réduite (Wide, Local, Personal Area Networks, WAN, LAN et PAN), motivent de nombreuses études avec des approches très différentes. C'est dans ce contexte que s'inscrit ce travail de thèse qui propose une architecture reconfigurable pour la numérisation du signal radio de récepteurs mobiles multistandards. De la transition progressive du GSM vers l'UMTS en Europe découle le besoin de terminaux bi-mode GSM/UMTS dans un futur proche. Pour cette raison nous avons appliqué cette étude à ces deux normes. La première phase du travail cherche à déterminer la chaîne la mieux adaptée à la réception de différentes normes. Les récepteurs à conversion directe ou homodynes sont particulièrement adaptés à cette application car ils allient forte intégration et implémentation multi-standard. Mais la flexibilité d'un tel système impose des contraintes sévères pour le traitement analogique en bande de base. En effet, la bande de réception dans son intégralité (60MHz pour l'UMTS) se retrouve en bande de base. La deuxième phase propose une architecture reconfigurable GSM/UMTS pour la bande de base analogique. Une fois l'architecture du récepteur choisie, nous avons défini les fonctions assurées par le traitement du signal en bande de base ainsi que les blocs qui la constituent. Puis nous avons déduit l'architecture qui répond le mieux au cahier des charges fixé, notamment en ce qui concerne la reconfigurabilité. Nous avons privilégié une architecture qui nous permette de réutiliser telle quelle ou de reconfigurer, le maximum de blocs afin qu'ils servent aussi bien pour le GSM que pour l'UMTS. La troisième phase présente une méthode qui permet de définir un cahier de charges à partir des spécifications techniques d'une norme, pour les différents blocs de la bande de base analogique, à savoir amplificateurs à gain variable, filtre anti-repliement et convertisseur analogique-numérique. Ceci sera fait en termes de dynamique et de linéarité pour tous les éléments de la bande de base. Pour les filtres, nous définirons en plus leurs gabarits. Cette méthode met en évidence les compromis entre les fonctions de filtrage anti-repliement, conversion analogique - numérique et amplification à gain variable. La quatrième décrit un convertisseur analogique-numérique GSM/UMTS et enfin, la conception d'un filtre anti-repliement reconfigurable GSM/UMTS. Lors de cette phase du travail notre réflexion s'est portée sur le degré de reconfigurabilité de ce bloc et sur la recherche du meilleur compromis entre flexibilité, performance et surface. Enfin, une conclusion récapitule les principaux résultats obtenus et présente les perspectives.

Neste trabalho, os limites atuais de densidade de fluxo de potência do Artigo 21 do Regulamento de Radiocomunicações da UIT para sistemas não-GEO operando na banda 3.7-4.2 GHz são analizados. Estes limtes visam proteger os receptores do Serviço Fixo Terrestre, operando na mesma faixa de frequência, das interferências produzidas por sistemas de satélites não geoestacionários. A análise foi motivada pela Resolução 157 [1] da Conferência Mundial de Radiocomunicações de 2015, que reconheceu a necessidade de uma revisão do Artigo 21 para que sistemas não-GEO possam operar nestas faixas de frequências assegurando, ao mesmo tempo, que os serviços primários existentes continuem protegidos. Na análise, cinco estruturas de constelações de satélites não-GEO do tipo Walker Delta, adequadamente escolhidas, foram consideradas. Resultados mostraram que os atuais limtes de pfd podem impor restrições indevidas aos sistemas não-GEO operando nesta faixa. Assim, uma metodologia para investigar uma máscara limitante de pfd mais adequada é apresentada. A aplicação desta metodologia leva a uma máscara alternativa que se aproxima dos limites atuais de pfd para satélites geoestacionários quando o número de satélites no sistema interferente não-GEO é igual a um. Uma avaliação da máscara de pfd proposta mostra que ela não impõe restrições desnecessárias aos sistemas de satélites não-GEO. Isto, junto a outros fatos, indica que os limites de pfd propostos são, de fato, muito mais adequados do que os atuais.
In this work, the current power-flux density limits in Article 21 of the ITU-R Radio Regulations for non-GSO systems operating in the 3.7-4.2 GHz band are analyzed. These limits aim the protection of Fixed Service receivers, operating in the same frequency band, from the interference produced by non-GSO satellite systems. The analysis was motivated by Resolution 157 [1] of the World Radiocommunication Conference 2015, that recognized the need for a revision of Article 21 with a view to enabling non-GSO systems to operate in these FSS frequency bands while ensuring that existing primary services are protected. In the analysis, five different Walker Delta type satellite constellation structures, adequately chosen, were considered. Results have shown that the current pfd limits may impose undue constraints to non-GSO systems operating in this band. Therefore, a methodology to investigate a more adequate pfd limiting mask is presented. The application of this methodology leads to an alternative mask that approaches the current pfd limits for the geostationary satellites when the number of satellites in the non-GSO interfering system is equal to one. An evaluation of the proposed pfd mask shows that it does not impose unnecessary constraints to the non-GSO satellite systems. This, along with other facts, indicates that the proposed pfd limits are, indeed, much more adequate than the current ones.

The aim of this study is to examine the bidirectional relationship between regulatory capital and liquidity creation in a global setting comprising diverse bank-specific and country-level characteristics. This study utilises the theory of financial intermediation and investigates various channels through which regulatory capital and liquidity creation are interrelated. More specifically, this study examines how bank-level and country-specific characteristics interact with regulatory capital to determine liquidity creation, and vice versa for Asia-Pacific and European banks. This study uses a dynamic panel generalized method of moments (GMM) estimator and the results support the financial fragility-crowding out hypothesis and liquidity substitution hypothesis, indicating an inverse bidirectional relationship between regulatory capital and liquidity creation. The findings further suggest that this relationship varies with several bank-level and country-level characteristics. The negative impact of regulatory capital on liquidity creation is more negative for banks with (i) high-ability managers; (ii) optimistic CEOs; and (iii) country of origin in advanced economies. Where, this inverse relationship is weakened for (i) banks with larger board sizes; (ii) banks with more experienced board members; (iii) Asia-Pacific banks; and (iv) banks having total assets greater than 50 billion USD. Moreover, regarding the reverse causality, the significant inverse impact of liquidity creation on bank capital is reinforced for (i) banks with larger board sizes; (ii) Asia-Pacific banks; and (iii) extra-large banks. While this impact is weakened in the presence of (i) high-ability managers; (ii) optimistic CEOs; and (iii) banks with their country of origin in one of the advanced economies. These findings have interesting recommendations for bank regulators, managers, and policymakers.

Linguistic research showing dependence on context in deriving language meaning discloses the integral linking of the Luo language with their departed ancestors and the upholding of customary laws. Meaning and impact being transformed in the process of translation from one context to another explains the severe limitations found in previous attempts at cross-cultural understanding between Western and Luo (African) peoples. Studying Luo people’s understanding of ‘bad’ in the light of the above reveals much that often remains invisible to Westerners. ‘Bad’ arises from the activities of ghosts acting through people’s hearts often as a result of breaking taboos. Cleansing, especially of ghosts, through prayer, keeping customary laws and salvation are used to counteract such ‘bad’. Conventional Biblical and mission hermeneutics are, in failing to account for pragmatic linguistics, found seriously wanting. Forces and powers being spiritually based in a monistic worldview amongst the Luo render clear cross-cultural communication with a rationalist and monotheist West impossible. Theological education based on African languages is advocated as the way to engage the challenges of Christianity with Luo ways of life in a way that will result in a deeply rooted African church, and a moral, vibrant, intellectually and economically active African society.

Previous issue date: 2015-08-05Over the past few years, banks have always been present at the epicenter of the biggest financial crises. Adopting policies that reduce the occurrence of banking crises is important to ensure peace and security for its depositors and investors. Thus, policymakers adopted the capital as regulatory measure, which required banks greater control in relation to its risk assets. The capital also plays a fundamental role in the soundness and credibility of banks. Another important aspect of bank capital is its relationship with profitability and risk. With the capital increase, banks become less vulnerable to risk, ultimately reducing the occurrence of problems in a bank. Thus, the impact on profitability is positive in the profitability of banks, as it reduces their cost of funding and improve its perception in the market. Several studies relate capital to risk or profitability. The aim of this study, however, was to simultaneously analyze the impact of capital on profitability and risk in the Brazilian financial system. Four dependent variables of profitability and risk were used, and other explanatory variables such as those specific to banks, a measure of bank concentration and macroeconomic variables were also used. The study was conducted with the 50 largest banks considering the asset volume through a Generalized Method of Moments technique (GMM) between the period 2006-2014. The hypotheses relating the effect of capital on risk and profitability of banks showed positive results. Banks are benefited when they increase their capital with a positive impact on profitability variables. Furthermore, from the moment banks increase their risk, there is an adjustment in the level of capital upwards. Considering the importance of this sector for any economy, the study confirms the ability of Brazilian banks to prove themselves solid and profitable and at the same time taking the capital as an important factor of these achievements.
Ao longo dos últimos anos, os bancos sempre estiveram presentes no epicentro das maiores crises financeiras. Adotar políticas que reduzam a ocorrência de crises bancárias é importante para garantir tranquilidade e segurança para seus depositantes e investidores. Assim, os formuladores de políticas adotaram o capital como medida regulatória, o que exigiu dos bancos maior controle na relação com seus ativos de riscos. O capital também exerce papel fundamental na solidez e credibilidade dos bancos. Outro importante ponto do capital dos bancos é a sua relação com rentabilidade e risco. Com aumento de capital, os bancos tornamse menos vulneráveis a risco, o que acaba reduzindo a ocorrência de um banco vir a apresentar problemas. Desta forma, o impacto na rentabilidade se mostra positivo nos bancos, pois reduz seus custos de captação e melhora sua percepção junto ao mercado. Vários estudos relacionam capital com o risco ou com a rentabilidade. O objetivo deste trabalho, porém, foi buscar estudar simultaneamente o impacto do capital na rentabilidade e risco no sistema financeiro brasileiro com quatro variáveis dependentes de rentabilidade e de risco. Algumas variáveis explicativas tais como as que são especificas para bancos, uma medida de concentração bancária e variáveis macroeconômicas. O estudo foi realizado com os 50 maiores bancos brasileiros considerando o volume de ativo, por meio de um modelo de método generalizado dos momentos sistêmicos (GMM) entre o período de 2006 a 2014. As hipóteses levantadas relacionando o efeito do capital no risco e com a rentabilidade dos bancos, apresentaram resultados favoráveis. Os bancos são beneficiados quando aumentam seu capital com impacto positivo nas variáveis de rentabilidade. Além disso, a partir do momento em que bancos aumentam seu risco, há um ajuste no nível de capital para cima. Considerando a importância desse setor para qualquer economia, o estudo confirma a capacidade de os bancos brasileiros se mostrarem sólidos e ao mesmo tempo lucrativos, tendo o capital como um importante fator dessas conquistas.

Mestrado em Econometria Aplicada e PrevisãoEsta dissertação analiza técnicas de correção do efeito do enviesamento que pode ocorrer no caso dos dados utilizados apresentarem valores em falta. Tais técnicas serão aplicadas a um modelo económico para caracterização da margem líquida de juros (MLJ) bancária, utilizando dados provinientes 15 países que pertencem ao sistema bancário da União Europeia (UE15). As variáveis que caracterizam os bancos são observados entre de 2004 e 2010. E são escolhidas seguindo Valverde et al. (2007). Adicionalmente aos regressores são acrescentadas algumas variáveis macroeconómicas. A seleção proviniente da falta de alguns valores para os regressores é tratada através da ponderação probabilistica inversa. Os ponderadores são aplicados a estimadores GMM para um modelo de dados de painel dinámico.
This thesis discusses techniques to correct for the potentially biasing effects of missing data. We apply the techniques on an economic model that explains the Net Interest margin (NIM) of banks, using data from 15 countries that are part of the European Union (EU15) banking system. The variables that describe banks cover the period 2004 and 2010. We use the variables that were also used in Carbó-Valverde and Fernndez (2007). In addition, also macroeconomic variables are used as regressors. The selection that occurs as a consequence of missing values in these regressor variables is dealt with by means of Inverse Probability Weighting (IPW) techniques. The weights are applied to a GMM estimator for a dynamic panel data model that would have been consistent in the absence of missing data.

O crescente aumento da demanda de tráfego nas redes celulares vem aumentando a necessidade de uma melhor utilização dos recursos do sistema, já que sua expansão é custosa. Nas estações rádio base (ERB), a disponibilidade de largura de faixa de freqüências é limitada e desta maneira, em uma rede de comunicação móvel celular, o controle de admissão de chamadas exerce grande influência no desempenho do sistema, pois determina a utilização de banda das ERBs e se uma determinada quantidade de recursos (banda) será alocado ou não para uma determinada chamada. O desempenho da rede pode ser atrelado a determinados parâmetros, como a probabilidade de bloqueio de novas chamadas, probabilidade de bloqueio de chamadas handoff e a utilização de banda da rede. Este trabalho propõe um controle de admissão de chamadas que, no atendimento de uma chamada, faz o empréstimo de banda de chamadas em andamento na célula no caso de banda insuficiente. O sistema adota um mecanismo heurístico que determina a banda disponível para novas chamadas conforme os valores de certos parâmetros do sistema. O empréstimo de banda é realizado em chamadas em andamento nas células até níveis mínimos estabelecidos para cada tipo de chamada, que se diferenciam pelas necessidades de banda de cada uma. O algoritmo foi aplicado às bandas e características de uma rede de terceira geração (3G), que possui chamadas de voz, videoconferência, interação multimídia, e-mail, downloads e transferência de arquivos e a uma rede GSM/GPRS (global system for mobile communications/ general packet radio service), que possui chamadas de voz e de dados. Os resultados mostram melhorias na probabilidade de bloqueio de novas chamadas, probabilidade de bloqueio de handoff e na utilização de banda do sistema.The recent growth in traffic loads in cellular networks has seen the need for a better use of system resources as its expansion is expensive. In the base transceiver station (BTS), the bandwidth availability is limited. Thus, in cellular networks the call admission control greatly influences the system performance because it determines the bandwidth use of the BTSs and if an amount of resources will or will not be allocated to a call. The network performance can be evaluated by parameters such as blocking probability of new calls, dropping probability of handoff calls and bandwidth use. This work proposes a call admission control that carries out the bandwidth borrowing when a call arrives and there is not enough bandwidth. The system makes use of a heuristic mechanism that determines the available bandwidth for the new calls according to some parameter values of the system. The bandwidth borrowing is applied to the cell ongoing calls until the minimum levels for each type are met. The algorithm was applied to the bandwidths and characteristics of a third generation cellular network, which supports voice calls, videoconference, multimedia interaction, e-mails, downloads and file transfers. It was also applied to a GSM/GPRS (global system for mobile communications/ general packet radio service), which supports voice and data calls. The results show improvements in the blocking probability of new calls, dropping probability of handoff calls and in the bandwidth use of the system.

Cette thèse traite de deux nouveaux débats sur le central banking qui ont émergé après la crise financière de 2008: le débat sur les pertes financières aux bilans des banques centrales, et le débat sur le niveau élevé des taux bancaires par rapport aux taux de marché après la crise. Les deux premiers chapitres s’inscrivent dans le premier débat. Le lien entre la solidité financière des banques centrales et l’inflation est étudié empiriquement dans le premier chapitre, en se basant sur un large panel de 82 pays. Théoriquement, ce lien est potentiellement présent lorsque le gouvernement ne soutient pas financièrement la banque centrale et que celle-ci ne peut donc compter que sur elle-même pour améliorer sa situation financière. Les résultats du premier chapitre montrent qu’en pratique tel est effectivement le cas: les détériorations aux bilans des banques centrales s’accompagnent d’une inflation plus forte lorsque la banque centrale n’a pas de soutien fiscal. Les résultats ne montrent pas de lien dans un contexte général, comme la théorie le suggère. Dans le second chapitre, il est analysé et conceptualisé l’argument selon lequel une banque centrale peut mettre fin à un régime de change fixe ou quasi-fixe par peur de futures pertes financières. L’analyse est ensuite appliquée au cas du cours plancher mis en place par la Banque Centrale de Suisse (BNS) entre 2011 et 2015 vis-à-vis de l’euro. Cet argument a été avancé par beaucoup pour expliquer la fin de la politique de cours plancher en Suisse, sans qu’aucune recherche avant celle-ci n’évalue sa pertinence. Les estimations empiriques du Chapitre 2 permettent de montrer que cet argument avait une crédibilité: elles montrent que dans des scénarios crédibles, en cassant le peg avec l’euro 17 mois plus tard, la BNS aurait essuyé une perte considérable, dépassant un seuil perçu comme limite par beaucoup de banquiers centraux. Le dernier chapitre de cette thèse s’intéresse à l’écart entre les taux de dépôts et le taux de marché en zone euro (l’EURIBOR) qui est devenu significativement positif après la crise, conduisant certains à parler de « sur-rémunération » des dépôts. Ce chapitre soutient que la majorité de cet écart ne s’explique non pas par un comportement anormal des dépôts comme certains l’ont avancé, mais au contraire par une perte de pertinence de l’EURIBOR. Construisant une alternative à l’EURIBOR, ce chapitre conclut que le risque bancaire a eu une influence primordiale sur le niveau de rémunération des dépôts dans le monde d’après-criseThis thesis deals with the new debates on central banking which arose after the 2008 global financial crisis. More particularly, two of such debates are addressed: the debates on the financial losses in central banks’ balance sheets, and the debates on the high level of bank rates compared to market interest rates following the financial crisis. The two first chapters are related to the first debate. The link between central bank financial strength and inflation is empirically examined in a large sample of 82 countries. Theoretically, this link is potentially present when the government does not fiscally support the central bank, so that the central bank can only rely on itself to improve its financial situation. The results show that in practice central bank balance sheet deteriorations indeed lead to higher inflation when fiscal support is absent. The results, based on a particularly meticulous and consistent sample selection, do not show the presence of a link between the two variables in a general context, as the theory suggests. In the second chapter, I analyze and conceptualize the argument according to which a central bank can end a peg exchange rate regime by fear of making significant losses in the future, and I apply this analysis to the Swiss franc peg between 2011 and 2015. This argument was brought forward by many commentators to explain the Swiss move, while no research before this one did study the relevance of this argument. The empirical estimates in Chapter 2 show that this argument indeed had some credibility: under some credible scenarios the Swiss central bank would have incurred significant losses by breaking its peg 17 months later, with losses exceeding a threshold judged as relevant by many central bankers. The last chapter of this thesis focuses on the spread between deposit rates and market interest rates in the Eurozone (more specifically, the EURIBOR), which became significantly positive after the financial crisis, leading some commentators to claim that deposits were over-remunerated. This chapter upholds that the major part of this spread is not due to an « abnormal » behavior of deposits but is rather due to the fact that the EURIBOR has become irrelevant after the global financial crisis. Building an alternative to the EURIBOR, the chapter concludes that banking risks have been having a major influence on the level of deposit remuneration

Secure information exchanges over cyberspace is on the increase due to the convergence of wireless and mobile access technologies in all businesses. Accordingly, with the proliferation of diverse multicast group service subscriptions that are possible to co-exist within a single broadband network, there is also huge demand by the mobile subscribers to ubiquitously access these services over high speed broadband using their portable devices. Likewise, the Network Providers (NPs) invest hugely in infrastructure deployment to disseminate these services efficiently and concomitantly. Therefore, cyber security in any business is obligatory to restrict access of disseminated services to only authorised personnel. This becomes a vital requirement for a successful commercialisation of exchanged group services. The standard way to achieve cyber security in a wireless mobile multicast communication environment is through confidentiality using Group Key Management (GKM).The existing GKM schemes for secure wireless multicast from literature only target single group service confidentiality; however, the adoption of multiple group service confidentiality in them involve inefficient management of keys that induce huge performance overheads unbearable for real time computing. Therefore, a novel authenticated GKM scheme for multiple multicast group subscriptions known as slot based multiple group key management (SMGKM) is proposed. In the SMGKM, the handovers move across diverse decentralised clusters of homogeneous or heterogeneous wireless access network technologies while participating in multiple group service subscriptions. Unlike the conventional art, the SMGKM advances its security by integrating location based authentication and GKM functions. Both functions are securely offloaded from the Domain Key Distributor (DKD) to the intermediate cluster controllers, Area Key Distributors (AKDs), in a distributed fashion, using the proposed location based authenticated membership list (SKDL). A significant upgrade of fast handoff performance with reduced performance overheads of the SMGKM scheme is achieved. The developed numerical analysis and the simulation results display significant resource economy in terms of reduced rekeying transmission, communication bandwidth and storage overheads while providing enhanced security. The performance of the SMGKM in a high speed environment is also evaluated and has demonstrated that SMGKM outperforms the previous work. Finally, the SMGKM correctness against various attacks is verified using BAN logic, the eminent tool for analysing the widely deployed security protocols. The security analysis demonstrates that SMGKM can counteract the security flaws and redundancies identified in the chosen related art.

La plupart des algorithmes ABE exploitent les informations contextuelles ou la mémoire capturée via l'utilisation de caractéristiques statiques ou dynamiques extraites de trames de parole voisines. L'utilisation de la mémoire entraîne des caractéristiques dimensionnelles plus élevées et une complexité informatique accrue. Lorsque les informations provenant de trames de prévisualisation sont également utilisées, la latence augmente également. Les travaux antérieurs montrent l'avantage pour ABE d'exploiter la mémoire sous la forme d'entités dynamiques avec un modèle de régression standard. Même dans ce cas, la littérature manque d'une analyse quantitative de l'avantage relatif de l'inclusion de mémoire explicite. La recherche présentée dans cette thèse évalue dans quelle mesure la mémoire explicite est utile et rapporte en outre un certain nombre de techniques différentes qui permettent son inclusion sans augmentation significative de la latence et de la complexité de calcul. Les avantages sont démontrés à la fois par une analyse quantitative avec une mesure basée sur la théorie de l'information et par des tests d'écoute subjectifs. Les principales contributions concernent la préservation de l'efficacité des calculs grâce à l'utilisation de la réduction de dimensionnalité sous la forme d'une analyse en composantes principales, d'auto-encodeurs superposés semi-supervisés et d'auto-encodeurs variationnels conditionnels. Les deux dernières techniques optimisent la réduction de la dimensionnalité pour offrir une performance ABE supérieureMost ABE algorithms exploit contextual information or memory captured via the use of static or dynamic features extracted from neighbouring speech frames. The use of memory leads to higher dimensional features and increased computational complexity. When information from look-ahead frames is also utilised, then latency also increases. Past work points toward the benefit to ABE of exploiting memory in the form of dynamic features with a standard regression model. Even so, the literature is missing a quantitative analysis of the relative benefit of explicit memory inclusion. The research presented in this thesis assesses the degree to which explicit memory is of benefit and furthermore reports a number of different techniques that allow for its inclusion without significant increases to latency and computational complexity. Benefits are shown through both a quantitative analysis with an information-theoretic measure and subjective listening tests. Key contributions relate to the preservation of computational efficiency through the use of dimensionality reduction in the form of principal component analysis, semisupervised stacked autoencoders and conditional variational auto-encoders. The two latter techniques optimise dimensionality reduction to deliver superior ABE performance

In this thesis we have proposed a design which can be used as RFID reader system. The design is based on the integration of a network feed line onto a planar antenna. The network was constructed of passive components and when combining with the planer antenna demonstrated improved operational characteristics (CP axial ratio bandwidth of the circularly polarized antenna and cross-polarization) of the planar antenna. By constructing slots on a planar antenna and combining with the 90 degree phase shift character of a Wilkinson power divider, a circularly polarized wide bandwidth antenna in the frequency range of 800-900 MHz has been constructed. Through the use of a Wilkinson power divider in the design, the 3 dB axial ratio bandwidth showed improvement over that of a single feed circularly polarized antenna and at the same time, the new design is more compact. We have also proposed, by exploiting the high gain and directional character of Yagi antenna, a Yagi-type antenna on a PCB board fed by a coplanar waveguide. The design can be used as communication antenna for the combined omni-directional 900 MHz GSM and 2.4 GHz RFID with end-fire pattern system. Since the operated frequency is at 900 MHz, the antenna structure is implemented by feeding a coplanar waveguide into a meander line. The 2.4 GHz band is generated by frequency multiplication of the 900 MHz band. The radiation pattern of the Yagi-type antenna depends on the separation, length, and the quantity of the radiating elements. The gain of GSM band is about 0~1 dBi and the gain of RFID band is about 2~3 dBi.

In this thesis, dual band (900/1800MHz) GSM radio module is implemented for complying with ETSI standard. The radio module employs direct conversion structure in receiver and offset phase lock loop (PLL) in transmitter, which consists of the zero-IF transceiver AD6523, multi-band synthesizer AD6524, low noise amplifier (LNA), voltage control oscillator (VCO), power amplifier (PA), transmit-receive switch, power control, balun, and regulator. The design start with link budget calculation to define circuit complied with ETSI specifications. When transmitting signal, the baseband signal is modulated to 0.3GMSK (Gaussian minimum shift keying), and through radio frequency circuit up-convert frequency to 900/1800MHz specified carrier channel. When receiving signal, RF frequency direct converter to I/Q signal. The thesis emphasizes that system of integration and measurement. For this reason, make sure RF module could conform to ETSI specifications in design circuit.

In transceiver, the RF front end is the most remarkable part in system, which decides channel utilization, distance of transmission, communication quality and receiver’s sensitivity. Therefore, the high performance of RF module will affect total solutions. In this thesis, two RF integrated circuits (RFIC) have been designed using a 0.5-mµCMOS technology and 0.35-BiCMOS technology, and simulated by ADS (Advance Design System). The compact RFIC is composed of LNA, Mixer [1]-[2]and input/output matching impedance based on the optimum design for the model inductance. We also have first derived the model inductance, and then optimized design of the LNA, Mixer and matching circuits by the CMOS process technology. The results have been shown a low noise with a forward gain of 17dB for a RFIC in 2.4GHz and wideband in ±100MHz. Moreover, the results also have been showed a low noise with a forward gain of 12dB for a RFIC in 1.5GHz and wideband in ±300MHz. Simulating and Modeling applications are good strategies in the processes technologies of the BiCMOS devices, which it will be developed. And then we have the optimum conditions for the device structures and the processes technology will be obtained. Device characteristics of the BiCMOS are used, such as the noise figure, channel interference, output power, and power efficiency characteristics will be studied. The relationship of the device characteristics to the requirements of the advanced wireless communication systems will also be correlated. A high performance of the compact RFIC for our design can be measured and simulated by the QPSK and USB mode compatible transceiver platform. In future, we propose to develop the new GaAs-based high-frequency devices and use the modeling inductance technologies for the advanced wireless communication applications.

In this thesis a compact and cost effective power amplifier (PA) module for GSM/DCS Quad-Band cell phone was designed and fabricated. This module combines three various chips. One works as a quad-band PA for GSM/DCS system and was fabricated on GaAs HBT substrate. Another one is a SP7T switch which is used to separate the paths of signals such as transmission and receiving signals for GSM and DCS, respectively. The SP7T switch was fabricated on GaAs pHEMT substrate. The third chip is mixed logic controller IC which is fabricated with CMOS process. The controller circuit provides the required signal to control the SP7T switch and also gives the base D.C.bias voltage to power amplifier so that the PA output power can be regulated. The design principle and architecture of each chips, simulation and measurement techniques were discussed in detail. The measurement results show a good consistence with simulation and the performance of the PA module nearly meet the specification of a commercial product.

To produce a dual-band pass microstrip filter, a circuit designer must understand determine the location that suppression oscillation frequencies of resonators and takes place and the coupling structure of resonators, and next have to overcomesolve the match problem of dual bands in the input and output ends. In order to solve the match problem, an effective design method using a quarter-wavelength impedance converter and a correlation formula of external quality factor is proposed in this study. The uniform impedance square resonator is used to design the double-frequency dual-band filter. The study showed that the even-mode impedance can be changed freely. Finally, a folding method was used to change the structure of the resonator. Analysis of the coupling coefficients was performed. The results showed that the behavior of the stop band of the circuit could be improved by adding extra transmission zero point. The proposed structure could effectively reduce the area of the circuit and promote the performance of the circuit. To realize the folding dual-band filters, the FR4 boards and the Al2O3 boards were used. The experiments showed that both the integer and non-integer second harmonics could be excited successfully and the effective area was reduced by 45%.

This thesis presents a highly integrated dual-band RF front-end for GSM 900 MHz and WCDMA 2 GHz systems. The front-end is designed to be used in a direct-conversion architecture with 0.25 um CMOS processes. The direct-conversion receiver includes two single-ended low noise amplifiers (LNA), a single-ended-to-differential converter, and quadrature mixers. The front-end can use the same devices in the signal path except the LNA input transistors. The LNA in GSM mode has gain 25 dB, NF (Noise Figure) 2.8 dB, input third order intercept point(IIP3) -14 dBm, and 47.8 mW power consumption. The LNA in WCDMA mode has gain 23.5 dB, NF (Noise Figure) 2.5 dB, IIP3 -14 dBm, and 58 mW power consumption. The mixer designed as doubled-balanced one with NF 10 dB, conversion gain 9 dB, IIP3 -10 dBm, and 5 mW power consumption. The schematics of the front-end are all simulated by Agilent EDA (Electronic Design Automatic)-ADS (Advanced Design System) with TSMC 0.25 um RF CMOS 2.5V technology.

This thesis conducts a high performance of Phase Locked Loops (PLLs) in GSM band. It is assumed that the modulated technology to send data with high frequency but it can not transmit as long distance in wireless environment and the demodulation technology in receiver, is restored original data from RF front-end to baseband. From the wireless system, the channel band limited, we should be to solve the band limited by the multiplex technology only. In the wireless communication, we must have a high stable local oscillator as show in conventional super heterodyne to restore the original data. In this thesis, we have been studied and implemented the high performance Phase Locked Loops, which will be to replace the local oscillator in wireless communication system. For the results, we first have a program control with single chip as 8051 to control the channel band, and then to get the short locked time and the low phase noise for our optimum design. For short locked time, we assume that the system is no noise interference to calculate as following mathematical model and simulate by matlab. In addition, we get the transient response by the unit step input for first order and second order loop filter as frequency response. Then, it is easy to solve the discussion results: (1)Can find the phase locked still as PLLs work normally. (2)Can find the optimum parameter for PLLs as short locked time. For the low noise, we can assume that the system is a linear to analyze the equivalent block diagram and to get the total response for PLLs. In our study, we realize the multi-channel for PLLs with IC SP8853 and meet the specification of GSM. We have the results by simulation with the wireless platform and results show an excellent performance. In particular, we get an optimum design flow to t fast realization for low cost and non-complexity.

In this thesis, the miniaturized branch-line coupler with dual-band for WiMAX and GSM application will be designed and implemented. It must have the characteristics of compact size and dual-band. In order to accord with the characteristics of dual-band, wide-band and small size, we propose several kinds of reducing size method in this research, and will apply it to the dual-band coupler. Furthermore, without any implementation of lumped elements, bonding wires, and via holes is proposed. The requirement of bandwidth is a big problem. We add capacitance to increase the bandwidth. In addition, use of coupling between line and line to make the phase become more and more flat. Above circuits have good agreement between simulation and measurement results. We will realize above couplers with PCB technology. Because of the consideration of exact phase different, high stability in the substrate and low cost, RO4003 is the best choice. It is suitable for couplers designing.

Recently years, in the century of speedy development wireless communication, this tendency that the mobile phone have communication and network is more and more important. Developing SOP (System on Package) and SOC (System on chip) is the mainstream. However, the receiver that having GSM and WLAN standards has been height concerned. For this receiver, if using a direct conversion structure, we need the low noise amplifier that operates in different frequency, amplify the signal of GSM and WLAN form antenna respectively. The direct way is to integrate two LNA’s for GSM and WLAN respectively. However, the chip area consumption will be increased and thus the cost increases. For the cost down reason, it becomes important to develop a re-configurable LNA circuit that can provide the frequency either in the GSM (1.8GHz) band or in the WLAN (2.4GHz) band. Moreover, by using fold-cascode structure achieve advantages of low voltage and low power. In this thesis, we try to develop the LNA1 and the LNA2 that can achieve GSM and WLAN standard at the same time. By way of switching the inductor, the operation of frequency can either in GSM band or in WLAN. In this research is fabricated in TSMC 0.18μm 1P6M CMOS process. In LNA1 structure, the average forward S21 are 13.347 dB (GSM) and 11.324 dB (WLAN), the reverse isolation S12 is under –40 dB, the S11 are –13 dB(GSM) and –20 dB (WLAN), the noise figure are 2.9 dB(GSM) and 3.4dB (WLAN), IIP3 are –6 dBm (GSM) and –1 dBm (WLAN) and the circuit power consumption is only 8.23mW. The LNA2 is designed for not to effect operation frequency of LNA1 after designing input matching of Mixer, thus added buffer designing in LNA1. In LNA2 structure, the average forward S21 are 10.893 dB (GSM) and 10.673 dB(WLAN), the reverse isolation S12 is under –60 dB, the S11 are –13 dB(GSM) and –17 dB (WLAN), the noise figure are 3.0 dB (GSM) and 3.2dB (WLAN), IIP3 are –7.2 dBm (GSM) and –5.2 dBm (WLAN) and the circuit power consumption is only 16mW. The goals of LNA1 are as followed: The first, how to do fold-cascode can operation in low voltage and in low power, moreover, let it achieve low noise at the same time. The second, how to use switch inductor change the operation frequency of LNA. The main research of LNA2 is the relation about the inter-matching of the linearity effect.

yesA subsurface chamber transceiver system and associated propagation channel link budget considerations for an underground wireless sensor system (UWSS) are presented: the application was a sewerage system for a water utility company. The UWSS operates over the GSM850/900, GSM1800/1900 and UMTS bands in order to operate with the standard public mobile phone system. A novel antenna was developed to minimize path loss from the underground location: a folded loop type, which is small enough to fit conveniently inside a utility manhole access chamber while giving adequate signal strength to link to mobile base stations from such a challenging environment. The electromagnetic performance was simulated and measured in both free space and in a real manhole chamber. An experimental test bed was created to determine the return loss and received signal strength with different transceiver positions below the manhole chamber access cover. Both numerical and experimental results suggested an optimum position of the unit inside the manhole, combining easy access for maintenance with viable received signal strength. This confirmed that the characteristics were adequate for incorporation in a transceiver designed to communicate with mobile base stations from underground. A field trial confirmed the successful operation of the system under severe conditions.

In this thesis, design and implementation of a U-shaped strip-slot antenna covering GSM/WLAN/Bluetooth and GPS bands are proposed. The total antenna size is 100 x 40 mm. It is modified from a symmetrical self-complementary strip-slot structure. However, one leg of the U-shaped slot is extended to the rim of the printed circuit board. It is investigated that this extension makes the antenna also be well-matched at GPS band. Without this extension, the antenna cannot work at this band.

Net interest margin (NIM) is an important indicator of a bank's operational efficiency. Based on the balance sheet data of 189 major listed banks in Europe from 2010 to 2019, this thesis studies the bank's NIM mechanism in a negative interest rate environment. This thesis focuses on the system GMM method and the results show that the policy interest rate is positively related to NIM in the long run and negatively related in the short run, but the relationship between the two is not significant in the short run. Moreover, in a negative interest rate environment, bank NIM's sensitivity to policy interest rates has greatly increased, especially the policy of interest rate cuts. In addition, the sensitivity of NIMs of different banks to policy interest rates also differs significantly. Generally, the NIMs of banks with a high degree of internationalization and larger size are less sensitive to changes in policy interest rates, while the NIMs of banks with a higher share of retail business in their total business are more sensitive to changes in policy interest rates. Finally, through the value-at-risk analysis and stress test, this thesis concludes that the policy interest rate, net loan-to-asset ratio, non-performing loan ratio and inflation rate are sensitive factors of NIM.

The significant change of the banking business models is easily observable in the current banking industry. Banks are forced to find additional source of income besides the one from traditional activities and thus the non-interest income is growing in importance. One of the reasons behind is that the banks need to recover from severe impacts of financial crisis in 2008-2010 and they want to adapt to the environment of low interest rates which has been occurring in the market since 2011. In this thesis, we analyze the presence of direct effect of non-interest income (proxied by fee income) on banks' performance using data of 220 commercial and investment banks from U.S. and EU-28 countries over the period of 2007-2014. Using System Generalized Methods of Moment, the direct effect was not detected. However, we conclude that economy with low inflation rate and growing gross domestic product improves the banks' profitability, as well as high capitalization and operating and credit quality efficiency. Furthermore, we found out that the volatility of the non-interest income has increased earlier than the crisis in 2008-2010 and it has been achieving almost continuous level till 2011 when it started decreasing again. Thus the hypothesis about relationship between volatility and financial crisis was rejected.

In the past two decades, significant changes have been shaping and transforming the banking sectors worldwide. Among these trends we find an intensive surge in foreign bank ownership which is especially remarkable in the countries of the Central, Eastern and South-Eastern European region. Using the sample of 17 countries and filtering out more than 140 domestically-operating foreign-owned banks, we examine the determinants of their performance in relation to host country conditions and home country banking sector performance over the period of seven years between 2005 and 2011. Due to the topic's currency, we additionally provide an insight into the link between sovereign debt and bank ownership. By means of system GMM model, or fixed effects model, we reveal that macroeconomic fundamentals of the host country affect the foreign-owned banks' performance but do not suffice in explaining it fully. Moreover, the depth of the current crisis as demonstrated in the home country impacts negatively on the host-country-operating foreign-owned banks. We did not find any convincing evidence of the host sovereign debt and bank ownership nature of relationship.

Tese no âmbito do Doutoramento em Gestão de Empresas, orientada pelo Professor Doutor Mário António Gomes Augusto e pelo Professor Doutor José Maria Ruas Murteira e apresentada à Faculdade de Economia da Universidade de Coimbra.The present dissertation addresses banking performance from several different perspectives, a general purpose that, to a large extent, was motivated by the various factors that led to the 2007/2008 global financial crisis. In particular, the low effectiveness of directors’ boards, remuneration policies with high-risk components, and earnings management can be considered amongst the most relevant drivers of this crisis. Accordingly, in order to pursue its general objective, the text is organized into three central chapters, in addition to the Introduction and final concluding section. Each chapter addresses one of the above three themes, using data on Eurozone banks directly supervised by the European Central Bank (ECB), considering the regulatory changes resulting from Directive 2013/36/EU (CRD IV), the imposition of a gender quota in the ECB and the implementation of the International Financial Reporting Standard 9. Chapter 2 investigates the influence of gender diversity upon the impact of board members’ political connections banks’ profitability and risk. Empirical results indicate that for high gender diversity the relationship between political connections and, respectively, profitability and risk, is U-shaped and inverted U-shaped. Empirical evidence also suggests that women’s greater ethical concern and risk aversion help mitigate the negative effects of political connections, shielding institutions’ interests from personal agendas’ adverse effects. Chapter 3 addresses the impact of political connections of banks’ Directors on the boards’ remuneration policies, as well as the influence of gender diversity on this impact. Statistical evidence suggests that political connections have a negative impact on remunerations, a hint that directors with political connections may prefer other types of benefits, rather than remunerations, as they may aim at future political positions and do not want to be associated with high remunerations. Gender diversity seemingly attenuates this negative effect, a finding that may be associated with the fact that women usually have greater ethical concerns, thereby promoting a more adequate remuneration policy. Chapter 4 addresses the impact of earnings management on Eurozone banks’ efficiency, examining its chronological evolution until the implementation of International Financial Reporting Standard 9. Empirical results suggest that efficiency is negatively affected by earnings management, as measured by discretionary loan loss provisions. Meanwhile, when total provisions are considered as earnings management proxy, results indicate a positive impact of loan provisions on allocative efficiency, contrarily to a negative effect of discretionary provisions. This finding helps stress the importance of defining earnings management as discretionary loan provisions, for the appropriate analysis of the former’s effect on banking efficiency.
A presente Tese aborda a performance bancária sobre diversas perspetivas, um objetivo geral que, em grande medida, foi motivado pelos vários fatores que conduziram à crise financeira global de 2007/2008. Em particular, a baixa eficácia dos Conselhos de Administração, políticas de remuneração com componentes elevadas de risco e a gestão de resultados podem ser consideradas como as causas mais relevantes desta crise. Neste sentido, e para prosseguir este objetivo, dividiu-se o estudo em três capítulos centrais, para além da Introdução e de uma secção final com a Conclusão. Cada um desses capítulos volta-se para uma daquelas temáticas, tendo sempre como referencial os bancos da Zona Euro supervisionados diretamente pelo Banco Central Europeu (BCE) e as alterações regulatórias resultantes da Diretiva 2013/36/EU (CRD IV), da imposição de uma quota de género no BCE e da implementação da International Financial Reporting Standard 9. O Capítulo 2 investiga a influência da diversidade de género no impacto das conexões políticas na rendibilidade e no risco bancário. Os resultados mostram que quando a diversidade de género é elevada, a relação entre conexões políticas e, respetivamente, rendibilidade e risco, é em forma de U e em forma de U invertido. Tal sugere que as caraterísticas diferenciadoras das mulheres, como o facto de serem mais éticas e mais avessas ao risco, ajudam a mitigar os efeitos negativos das conexões políticas, salvaguardando os interesses das instituições dos efeitos adversos das agendas pessoais dos seus administradores. O Capítulo 3 aborda o efeito das conexões políticas dos elementos dos Conselhos de Administração dos bancos na sua remuneração, assim como a influência da diversidade de género nesse efeito. A evidência estatística sugere que as conexões políticas têm um impacto negativo nas remunerações, sendo indicativo que os administradores com conexões políticas podem preferir outros tipos de benefícios, ao invés de remunerações, pois no futuro podem aspirar a novos cargos políticos, não querendo estar associados a remunerações elevadas. A diversidade de género atenua esse efeito negativo, resultado este que está associado ao facto de as mulheres geralmente apresentarem maiores preocupações éticas, promovendo políticas de remuneração mais adequadas. O capítulo 4 aborda o impacto da gestão de resultados na eficiência dos bancos da Zona Euro, analisando a sua evolução até à implementação da International Financial Reporting Standard 9. Os resultados empíricos sugerem que a eficiência é negativamente afetada pela gestão de resultados, medida pelas provisões discricionárias. Além disso, quando se considera as provisões totais como proxy da gestão de resultados, os resultados indicam um impacto positivo das provisões na eficiência de afetação, contrariamente ao efeito negativo das provisões discricionárias. Este resultado mostra a importância de definir a gestão de resultados pelas provisões discricionárias, para uma análise apropriada do seu efeito na eficiência bancária.

In the thesis, we examine the bank lending channel and the effect of banking market structure on the transmission of monetary policy in Georgia, Armenia, and Azerbaijan. We employ bank-level data for the period of 2011-2017 to detect if banks with different characteristics react differently to monetary policy shocks. Banking market structure is proxied by three measures-CR5, HHI, and Lerner Index. We estimate two types of models: dynamic (with system GMM) and static (with FE) models. We also consider the effect of dollarization on bank loan supply as well as on monetary policy. We do not find consistent evidence that banks react differently to monetary policy shocks depending on bank characteristics (size, capitalization, and liquidity). Hence the existence of the lending channel is not conclusive. Nevertheless, the results show that monetary policy is less effective in more concentrated markets. This finding is robust in all specifications with both types of models. In this sense, competition is not significant. The results also suggest that dollarization weakens the effect of domestic monetary policy.

This topic is of high relevance since fee income represents the largest part of the non-interest income of EU banks. The first part of the thesis deals with banks in general terms, while the second part is focused solely on cooperative banks, which represent approximately 20% of the EU banking sector. We compare the magnitude of the bank fee income across EU countries and study its determinants and impacts on banks' performance. The first essay compares the magnitude of the fee income across EU countries with a special emphasis on the Czech Republic from a macroeconomic perspective. First, we conclude that Czech banks are not abnormally dependent on fee income and their outstanding performance can be attributed to sound risk management, high liquidity and sufficient capital buffers rather than to excessive fees. Second, our evidence suggests that the share of fee income had an increasing trend in EU countries in recent years, which might be connected to the effort to maintain sufficient profitability in the low interest rates environment. We also discuss how new entrants, the so called low-cost banks, changed the banking sector in the Czech Republic....

The electromagnetic wave absorption characteristics of composite cement-based building
material have attracted much interest in recent times. Researchers have mainly focused on
the 2 GHz to 12 GHz frequency range. Mobile and wireless communication systems use
frequencies from 800 MHz upwards. The determination of characteristics such as reflection
loss, absorption, attenuation and shielding effectiveness are crucial in the evaluation
and development of these materials for the building industry. Absorption is an indication of
how much of the EMW energy enters the material. Attenuation indicates how much of the
absorbed energy is converted into other forms of energy by the material. Shielding effectiveness
(SE) is a combination of reflection loss, attenuation and multiple internal reflections
and attenuations.
This research determined these characteristics by measuring the S11 and S21 parameters
of the composite cement-based material in the GSM and WiFi frequency bands. The time domain gating function of a vector network analyser is applied to measure the reflection
from the material. The data was then used to obtain the reflection and absorption losses
in the frequency bands. The transmission loss was measured by placing the sample in the
propagation path between two antennas.
MnZn-ferrite and electrolytic manganese dioxide in powder form were evaluated as absorber
material to increase the permeability of the cement-based material to improve absorption
and attenuation capabilities to create a cost-effective practical electromagnetic wave absorber.
The compound of the cement-based material was cement, sifted river sand and filler
powder.
The results achieved in the research showed the uniqueness of electrolytic manganese dioxide
as filler in composite cement based material for electromagnetic wave shielding effectiveness
improvement. The combined measurement techniques used in this research were
uniquely used to determine the required electromagnetic wave absorption characteristics and
shielding effectiveness of 10 dB was measured in the GSM850 and GSM900 frequency
bands.Dissertation (MEng)--University of Pretoria, 2013.

How Bank Competition Influences Financial Stability Abstract This paper investigates the link between financial stability and bank competition by means of the Arellano & Bond (1991) GMM model using annual panel data over the period 2000 - 2014 for 205 countries. Our data source is a new, richer and updated dataset The Global Financial Development Database available at World Bank. Due to the specifics of this dataset we are able to use new combinations of measures of financial stability and of bank competition and to study their relationship in greater depth. We find a positive link between financial stability and bank competition. Furthermore, our results provide evidence that it matters what measures of financial stability and bank competition we apply. Lastly, we ascertain that the relationship between financial stability and bank competition does not change over time.

This thesis deals with both theoretical and practical aspects of banking fee and commission income in the European Union. Since fee income represents the largest part of non-interest income earned by banks, it remains a major challenge for bank management to set and maintain an appropriate fee policy. Nevertheless, solving for the optimal fee structure has not yet been accomplished either on a theoretical level, or in actual practice. In the thesis, we analyse fee income in EU banking sectors. Our results show that the Czech banking sector was not abnormally dependent on fee income compared to other EU countries in the period 2007-2012. As a result, we argue that the high profitability of Czech banks cannot be attributed to abnormal banking fees and commission income, but rather other factors should be considered. Moreover, we study the determinants of fee income share in individual banks and discuss the impact of market concentration on the magnitude of banking fees. We conclude that banks facing higher competition tend to expand more aggressively into non- traditional activities and therefore they report higher fee income shares. We also study the relationship between banking fees and banks' performance. The results are mixed depending on applied profitability measure, but in general, banks with...
