The Communication Board in the BIRDS bus is designed to handle UHF/VHF communication, which is commonly used in CubeSat missions due to its reliability and simplicity. The board integrates a radio transceiver module and is managed by the On-Board Computer (OBC) through the Com PIC microcontroller. This setup ensures efficient and reliable communication, even in the challenging environment of space.
