Frequency-reconfigurable antenna for software defined radio driven by PIC microcontroller
A low-profile microstrip patch antenna has been designed for tuning on a discrete set of instant frequencies. The frequency reconfigurability is obtained by resorting to electrically actuated switches operated via a software-controlled biasing network. A low-cost PIC microcontroller is employed to control the antenna operative condition among the available states. Measurements on a fabricated prototype show a good matching with simulations and prove the reliability of the proposed configuration
Het presteren van FM
Prestatieafspraken. Prestatiespecificaties. Prestatiecontracten. Het woord prestatie duikt steeds vaker op in de wereld van FM. Maar wat bedoelen we er nu precies mee? En kunnen we de prestaties van FM wel op een betrouwbare en valide manier meten? Een beschouwing vanuit de wereld van een belangrijke facility: de huisvesting.Real Estate and HousingArchitecture and The Built Environmen

The Added Value of FM: Different Research Perspectives
Purpose: This paper aims to present and compare research perspectives and theoretical reflections from a variety of academic fields on the concept of Added Value of Facilities Management (FM).Theory: The starting point is the so-called FM Value Map, which was presented in a paper by Jensen (2009) at the research symposium at EFMC 2009 in Amsterdam.Methodology: Literature reviews of the most influential journals within the academic fields of FM, Corporate Real Estate Management and Business to Business Marketing; reflections on EFMC-presentations; discussions between participants of an EuroFM research collaboration group working on a further exploration and testing of the FM Value Map.Findings: The research shows a number of different definitions and focus points of Added Value of FM, dependent on the academic field and the area of application. The different research perspectives explored a holistic view on the added value of FM by the integration of an external market based view (with a focus on the aimed output) and the internal resource based view (with a focus on the input from FM and RE). Good relationship management and building on trust shows to be equally important as delivering the agreed services. In order to measure the multidimensional components of adding value both qualitative and quantitative approaches are needed.Originality/value: Usually the concept of Added Value is discussed from a mono-disciplinary point of view. Based on this international collaboration a more complete picture will arise. The different backgrounds of the authors add value to an increased understanding of the added value of FM by comparing and testing different ways of conceptualising this concept. This is of great importance to FM-research and evidence-based FM as a sound basis for the long term recognition of FM.Accepted Author ManuscriptReal Estate Managemen
Performance measurement in the context of CREM and FM
Purpose: To discuss trends in organisational performance measurement, to identify and discuss widely used performance criteria and key performance indicators (KPIs) in general and in the fields of Facility Management (FM) and Corporate Real Estate Management (CREM), and to identify how a more holistic measurement framework could be used in measuring the added value of FM and CREM i.e. to find out how well FM and CREM are contributing to the company’s’ performance and strategies.Methodology: A review of general management, FM and CREM literature on performance measurement and KPIs in connection to added value of FM, case studies into performance measurement as part of a PhD research in progress that is being conducted by the first author (with the second author being one of the supervisors) and interviews with CEO’s in different countries as part of a finalized PhD research of the third author.Findings: The research traced a number of performance measurement models and resulted in a list of useful KPIs that have been classified according to the FM Value Map impacts: social, environmental, satisfaction, cost, productivity, adaptation and culture. The present list shows a holistic approach and aligns to different impacts on relevant stakeholders and the surroundings.Practical implications: The performance models and KPIs can be used as input to integrated and well balanced performance management and performance measurement, including benchmarking with competitive organisations, as part of professional Facility Management and Corporate Real Estate Management.Research limitations: We did not conduct a quantitative analysis of how often a particular KPI has been mentioned in literature; besides only a few empirical tests have been conducted on operationalization and application of KPIs in current FM and CREM practice.Originality/value: Combining of the findings from two Phd-studies on performance measurement and performance management has led to a new and well classified list of KPIs.Real Estate Managemen
An FM Chirp Waveform Generator and Detector for Radar: Sawtooth Generator and FM Detector
The "FM Chirp Waveform Generator and Detector for Radar" is a Bachelor graduation project with an educational purpose. In this thesis, two modules of the whole system are designed and simulated. In particular, the sawtooth generator and the FM detector. The sawtooth generator is used to generate a linearly increasing signal, which can be used to make a chirp signal. The FM detector is used to extract the original information signal from the received FM signal. The used procedure consisted of determining possible implementations, setting up the design equations, choosing component values and simulating the circuits in ADS. The sawtooth generator was implemented using a ramp generator, Schmitt trigger and a voltage clamper while the FM detector was implemented using a balanced slope detector and a differential-to-single-ended converter. The results showed that the sawtooth generator can successfully produce a sawtooth waveform and that the FM detector can successfully retrieve it. It was concluded that both the modules satisfy all the requirements, meaning that they should work as expected in the whole system. Finally, the future steps were listed which, among others, include improving the linearity of the sawtooth generator and the FM detector.An FM Chirp Waveform Generator and Detector for RadarElectrical Engineerin
The Concept of added value of FM
Purpose: This chapter presents research perspectives and theoretical reflections on the concept of added value of FM from a variety of academic fields.Methodology: A literature review of the most influential journals within the academic fields of Facilities Management (FM), Corporate Real Estate Management (CREM) and Business to Business Marketing (B2B Marketing).Findings: The research shows different definitions and focus points, dependent on the academic field and the area of application. The different research perspectives explored a holistic view on the added value of FM by the integration of an external market based view (with a focus on the aimed output) and the internal resource based view (with a focus on the input from FM and real estate). Good relationship management and building on trust shows to be equally important as delivering the agreed services.Practical implications: A clear conceptualization of the concept of added value of FM is of utmost importance for further research into the added value of FM and well-considered, evidence-based Value Adding Management in practice.Research limitations: Due to limited time not all FM-related journals could be included in the literature review. The included journals were analysed over a time period of ten years, with a focus on interesting topics and less on a thematic cross-paper analysis in-depth.Originality/value: Usually the concept of added value is discussed from a mono-disciplinary point of view. The different backgrounds of the authors add value to an increased understanding of the added value of FM by comparing and testing different ways of conceptualising this issue.Real Estate Managemen
