Novel digital signal generation, data acquisition and data processing methodologies implemented on modern FPGA architectures are to be created and realized, based on intensive literature research and own ideas. The resulting methodologies are to be tested with existing and self-developed lab prototypes with the ultimate aim of improved sensitivity and ruggedness by quantification based on fitting of modelled gaseous analyte spectra. The work compromises writing scientific publications in peer-reviewed journals and the presentation of the results at national and international conferences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-buttons
