 ## Background
 
-The Communication Board in the BIRDS bus is designed to meet the specific needs of CubeSat missions, balancing performance, power consumption, and cost. Historically, CubeSats have relied on UHF/VHF communication systems due to their simplicity and ease of implementation. The BIRDS bus leverages this technology while incorporating robust design principles to ensure reliable communication in space.

-The board is managed by the Com PIC microcontroller (PIC16F1789), which is part of the OBC subsystem. This microcontroller handles tasks such as modulating and demodulating signals, managing data packets, and coordinating with the Main PIC for mission execution. The integration of the Communication Board with the OBC ensures seamless operation and efficient use of resources.
