5.4.1.6.1. Transient Buffer data rate

The data volume per transient buffer dump per receptor is given by: Mreceptor = fs x npol x nbits x tbuffer / 8 bytes
Where:
The data rate per transient buffer dump (per receptor) is given by: Rreceptor = Mreceptor / ttransfer bytes/s
Since the dump (and subsequent data transfer) of the transient buffer is triggered by a transient event, the data flow is not constant. Therefore the data rate per transient buffer dump for multiple receptors is given by: Rtransient_buffer ≤ Rreceptor x nreceptor bytes/s
Data rate will depend on the number of receptors in the subarray, as well as the values of the other transient buffer parameters. Examples of data volumes and rates for transient buffer data using the parameters from Table 19 are given in Table 20.
