 ## 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.
