Plesiochronous/
Doppler Buffer
Selectable size of 64 to 262,144 bits, in 16-bit steps (with added limitations for G.704 frame
boundaries)
Size selection is displayed in bytes and milliseconds
Supports asymmetric operation - when buffer is clocked from Tx clock, Rx and Tx rates do not need to
be identical
Monitor Functions
Eb/No estimate, 2 to 16 dB (± 0.25 dB accuracy)
Corrected Bit Error Rate, 1E-3 to 1E-10
Frequency offset, ± 32 kHz range, 100 Hz resolution
Buffer fill state, in percent
Receive signal level (-20 to -60 dBm, accuracy is ± 2.5 dB)
