← TechnologyWhich outcome occurs when a telecommunications satellite's onboard processor experiences bit flips?
A)Increased signal processing latency✓
B)Complete transponder unit shutdown
C)Unmodified signal forwarding continues
D)Antenna pointing angle errors
💡 Explanation
When a satellite processor has bit flips it causes errors during Digital Signal Processing (DSP), because computations are corrupted resulting in processing delay, therefore latency increases, rather than total failure, which would require more extensive damage, or continuing operation normally.
