Figure B-4. Doppler Shift 

 

If the two earth stations are configured as master/slave, then the buffer need only be configured 
for Doppler operation. The buffer will then have sufficient capacity for the Doppler shift on the 
outward and return paths. 

A buffer set up for Doppler operation only will typically require less depth than one intended for 
both Doppler and plesiochronous operation.
