Introduction
Welcome to the PicoRadioRF project at the Berkeley Wireless Research Center.  We are members of the Department of Electrical Engineering and Computer Sciences at the University of California, Berkeley.  The ultimate goal of this project is to design, implement, and test ultra-low power RF transceivers for sensor networks.  We hope to minimize the cost, size, and power consumption of these devices to enable true ubiquity of wireless sensor networks.  This website documents progress made towards this end.
