The VERSITRON Model LDPC16 elastic buffer automatically compensates for drift
between receive clock and local clock signals. Elastic buffers are required to
compensate for frequency variations caused by Doppler effects as the distance
between a data transmitting satellite changes with its orbit above the earth.
VERSITRON'S Model LDPC16 elastic buffer absorbs the shift between the clocked
data and master reference from the earth station receiver at a true average rate
to prevent errors.
