4 From the Director of the INSTITUTE OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS - Annual Report 1999 INSTITUTE OF ELECTRONIC SYSTEMS The Institute of Electronic Systems is the largest institute of the Faculty of Electronics and Information Technology of WUT. It offers a wide range of opportunities for undergraduate, graduate and postgraduate students. Our teaching and research activities respond to the needs of today s electronics and computer engineering. As it will be seen from the prospectus, there are courses, and opportunities for studying and research in automatic measurement and test systems, semiconductor and smart sensors, flow measurements, optoelectronic circuits for sensing and telecommunication, computer engineering with artificial intelligence, neural networks and adaptive measurement systems, microprocessor systems, digital systems and digital signal processing, microwave networks and instrumentation, design software systems for VLSI integrated circuits and monolithic integrated circuits for high frequencies, and in analogue and pulse electronic circuits and systems. Our papers, conference presentations and scientific reports cover a wide variety of issues from distributed environmental monitoring systems involving optical fibre sensors to prototype development and production of signal processing blocks and monolithic high frequency integrated circuits for radar systems. In 1999 the Institute staff members gained 2 D.Sc. degrees, 4 Ph.D. degrees, published 7 scientific and teaching books, 32 journal papers, 104 papers in conference proceedings and 82 other publications. In the continuing programme of expansion and development of the Institute we reached new successes. This year two of our colleagues have completed habilitation procedures and have been awarded with the habilitation doctorate degrees. These two dissertations concerned robust and strongly consistent methods and algorithms for signal identification and selected issues in the metrology of contemporary analogy-to digital converters. Another four our young colleagues have received PhD degrees. It is also worth mentioning on distributed environmental monitoring system that was developed and organised by staff members of our Institute and other Departments of Warsaw Technical University. For their outstanding achievements in research and teaching, academics of the Institute 24 rewards of the Rector of our University. These developments are taking place thanks to strong involvement of the academic staff and administration. Students who come to the Institute of Electronic Systems will be joining a dynamic, expanding and lively institution, in which, I believe, we are managing to retain one of the long-standing traditions of our Institute, that of being the Institute with high standards for education and research and a friendly place with good relations between staff and students. The Director Professor Janusz A. Dobrowolski, Ph.D., D.Sc.

5 1. GENERAL INFORMATION 1.1. Mission and organisation of the Institute For many years the teaching and research activities in the Institute of Electronic Systems have been concentrated in design, construction and maintenance of analogue, digital and mixed electronic systems and instrumentation, low and high frequency, microwave and optical, with many different applications: measurement and control, radio - and telecommunication, medical, and radar, with strong utilisation of digital, microprocessor and computer techniques and software engineering. In the Institute, there are performed teaching and research activities in the areas of CAD systems for VLSI analogue, digital and mixed electronic circuits and systems, micro electro-mechanical systems, design and measurements of monolithic microwave integrated circuits, computer controlled measurement systems, high frequency and microwave communication systems, numerical methods, digital signal processing for radar signals, and for biomedical signals, analogue and digital filtering, neural networks, artificial intelligence, molecular (DNA) computing, semiconductor and smart sensors, measurement and test systems, flow sensors and flow measurements, optoelectronic metrology, non-linear fiber optics, optical fiber devices, optical fiber sensors and image processing. Traditionally, the Institute is responsible for teaching basic electronic courses such as: Circuit Theory, Signals and Circuits, Electronic Circuits and Elements, Basics of Electrical Measurements and Electronic Measurements, but the main teaching and research involvement of the Institute is in the advanced and modern areas of electronics and information technology presented above. In a new two-stage teaching system at the Faculty the Institute is responsible for performance of two specialisations: Measuring Systems and Computer Engineering. In many aspects these two areas of science and engineering have common fields. Staff members of the Institute perform most of the teaching activities for these two specialisations, but also they teach and participate in classes of other specialisation. Like other institutes of the Faculty, the IES is structured into Divisions. The Institute has four Divisions: Circuit and Signal Theory Division incorporates three Research Groups: Research Group on Digital Systems and Signal Processing, Research Group on Non-linear Networks, Research Group on Analogue Signal Filtering. Microwave Circuits and Instrumentation Division incorporates one Research Group: Research Group on Microwave Circuits and Instrumentation. Electronic Circuits and Systems Division incorporates four Research Groups: Research Group on Electronic Analogue Circuits, Research Group on Digital Systems and Digital Signal Processing, Research Group on Pulse and Digital Equipment, Research Group on Biomedical Instrumentation. Electronic Instrumentation and Optoelectronic Division incorporates five Research Groups: Research Group on Sensors, Research Group on Industrial Measurement Systems, Research Group on Automatic Test Systems, Research Group on Optoelectronic Circuits, Research Group on Neural Networks and Adaptive Measurement Systems. Independent Research Group on Artificial Intelligence. 6

Mulawka, Professor, Ph.D., D.Sc. Room no: #225 Phone no: (48-22) E - mail: jml@ Staff: Jarosław Arabas, Assistant Professor, Ph.D., Paweł Cichosz, Assistant Professor, Ph.D., General Information The main subject of research concerns the computational intelligence. In particular the following topics have been considered in detail: Molecular Computing, Molecular Electronics, Expert Systems, Evolutionary Algorithms, Machine Learning, Database Mining, Advanced Control. Molecular computing is a new field of research in computation intelligence. In this approach wellestablished tools of molecular biology are used to solve problems of computer science. A central idea behind much of molecular computing is its promise of implementation of massive parallelism and associate memory. Thus it may be a challenge for traditional digital computers. In our research we have introduced a novel application of molecular computing to problems of expert systems. Biochemical reactions on DNA strands were used to realise the backward chaining algorithms. Evolutionary Algorithms can be divided into three areas: Genetic Algorithms (GA), Evolution Strategies (ES), and Genetic Programming (GP). They have developed applications in global optimisation. In the 11

11 research on GA and ES new algorithms based on concept of chromosome age has been introduced. The process is controlled by the tage of optimisation. These methods lead to a significant reduction of the computation effort needed to achieve comparable results. To improve GA technique, an approach based on applying GP methodology to find the best GA accommodation of population size are proposed. The structure for global optimisation has been developed. It enables better results to be obtained in comparison with standard approaches. Several applications of evolutionary algorithms are addressed, such as: microwave circuits design, graph theory and telecommunication. 12
