In this paper we discuss the effect of shunt resistance on the electro-optical characteristics of multicrystalline silicon (mc-Si) solar cells at different illumination levels. The analysis is based on combined electro-optical characterization and thermographic measurements of solar cells with similar efficiencies, but with different shunt resistance levels. In order to understand how the shunt resistance...
We present a novel low cost scheme for the on-die measurement of either clock jitter, or process parameter variations. By re-using and properly modifying the Ring Oscillators (ROs) that are currently widely employed for process parameter variation measurement in high performance microprocessors, our proposed scheme can be easily set in either the process parameter variation measurement mode, or the...
We propose a new communication protocol for wireless sensor networks, allowing to make them secure with respect to malicious attacks. Compared to standard secure protocols (e.g., the IEEE 802.15.4 and the ZigBee), the one we propose allows to increase security significantly, at negligible impact on node complexity. A possible hardware scheme to implement our protocol is also proposed.
