If some developers uses the same protocol (ex. AX.25), how each Cubesat distinguishes its GS’s command from other GS’s command? Are there any regulations? ■Does our Cubesat require an impedance matching circuit between transceiver and antenna? ■Is it necessary to conduct a radiation environment test to FSK modulator-demodulator? ■Must our Cubesat equip space rated coaxial cable?
