In this master thesis, combinations of noise-canceling LNA and harmonic-rejection mixers are investigated and compared to find an optimal inductorless receiver front-end for low-band (600-960MHz) FDD LTE-A network. The work was carried out in a modem development project at Ericsson Modems, Lund. Three receiver versions with different harmonic rejection techniques are compared in terms of noise fig

Behandling av lakvatten inom avfallsdeponierna Syftet med projektet var att utvärdera den faktiska lakvattenreningskapaciteten inom Hedeskogas avfallsanläggning, Skånes län. Målet var även att mäta eventuell bakterieaktivitet i dess dammar, i vilka lakvattnet hanteras. Men vad är då lakvatten? Lakvatten produceras varje gång vatten infiltreras genom ämnen samt när olika sorters substanser samlas Dissolved ammonia is often referred to as one of the major contaminants in landfill leachates. Discharge concentration limits for municipal wastewater treatment plants in Sweden have been tightened in order to meet higher water quality standards. Because of REVAQ, a certification system tailored to ensure better sludge quality, wastewater treatment plants may decide whether to accept leachate from
