PicoRadio Subgroups:

	PicoNode3  - The PicoNode3 subgroup focuses on the integration of a complete PicoNode into a single small aspect-ratio package, including antenna, radio, protocol and application processors, sensors and power-train. Key to this effort is the realization of an integrated ultra low-power digital network processor.
	PicoRadioRF - The Physical Layer group is focused on creating a reactive, energy-aware RF link that maintains network connectivity and data throughput for dense sensor node applications. State-of-the-Art Analog, Digital, RF, and MEMs knowledge is utilized to achieve these goals.
	Network, Application, MAC, Positioning (NAMP) - Develop energy-efficient algorithms and protocols for use in low data-rate, dense, ad-hoc, sensor applications.  Investigate the design methodology for low-power wireless protocols and systems.
	Yield Optimization (YODA) - Bringing the power dissipation of the PicoNode even lower requires the adoption of drastic new design approaches, such as very low supply voltages (500 mV and below). This sub-group explores how the resulting loss in reliability and robustness can be compensated for through innovative design techniques.
