Obviously, we have less information coming into the system (we see the uplink half the time, so right there, we have a 2:1 hit) and the ground end only sees the transmit signal half the time (another 2:1 hit), so, from an information theory standpoint we've already put ourselves in a hole, but, what does the statistics really look like for the turnaround loop..

Very interesting Jim, cant tell you much about the math. Maybe a hold last value may work best ?
