Adaptive correction is vital if a high fidelity signal is required.
Whenever a signal moves through air, it runs the risk of being distorted
when it moves through turbulence in the atmosphere. If uncorrected,
this turbulence limits the useful range of the signal as the strength
of the signal degrades with distance. However, a CMDM (Continuous
Membrane Deformable Mirrors) can correct for this turbulence
in real time greatly extending the useful range of the signal. This
is especially important in the free space communication arena, where
a longer useful signal range means fewer transmitting stations.
