Abstract :
In this paper we propose a new reconfigurable architecture for sensor nodes, called RANS-300, which can operate in applications demanding low power to high performance, although sacrificing the lifetime of the sensor node. This node has a FPGA board, which can be dynamically reconfigured to add new configuration, and has a Compact Flash device to expand the node possibilities
