Z2-FET (Zero Impact Ionization and Zero Subthreshold Slope FET) is a very recent sharp switching device which achieves remarkable performance in terms of leakage current and triggering control. The device is fabricated with Ultra-Thin Body and Buried Oxide (UTBB) Silicon-On-Insulator (SOI) technology, features an extremely sharp on-switch, an adjustable triggering voltage (VON), and can be considered...
PLC is the acronym for ??PowerLine Communication?? and means data communications via power wiring. PLC was initially used for tele-protection and tele-monitoring of electrical substations by means of high voltage power lines, in order to avoid costs of microwave or fiber optic links. More recently, PLC has been also adopted for automatic smart metering. However, only with the advent of low-cost digital...
Wireless communications in the industrial automation world still suffer from lack of standardization. WirelessHART, released in September 2007, is still the only open communication standard specifically designed for real-time process control applications. This paper presents an innovative distributed tool for capturing WirelessHART packets in the field. In fact, even if tools for compliance assessment...
Traditional wireless sensors rely on monolithic transceivers optimizing cost but offering a very low flexibility. On the other hand, microwaves in the GHz range are used for displacement and position sensing. In this work a new architecture for wireless sensors, called wireless ultra smart sensor, is introduced. The new sensor architecture is built using software defined radio concepts and it has...
