  1. EVLA LO/IF Central and Antenna Reference Generation EVLA LO-IF PDR 22 January 2002

  2. Reference Gen GOALS Frequency Multipliers and Dividers Phase Noise - Design as close to 20log(f1/f0) as possible Frequency Generators Spurious - Harmonically related >25 dBc - Non-harmonically related >40 dBc Low peak-to-peak phase deviations EVLA LO-IF PDR 22 January 2002

  3. Reference Gen Components Being Considered Frequency Dividers Wenzel LNFDs – Low Phase Noise - 50 ohm devices - Internal BPFs ECL - Low Propagation Delays - Delays insensitive to Supply Variations - Less sensitive to temp than CMOS/TTL EVLA LO-IF PDR 22 January 2002

  4. Reference Gen Components Being Considered Frequency Multipliers – COTS EVLA LO-IF PDR 22 January 2002

  5. Central Ref System REQUIREMENTS • Generate and Distribute all references required • Provide adequate spare freq ports and monitors • Provide amplitude comp as needed • Spare master gen to be continuously checked by comparison to primary EVLA LO-IF PDR 22 January 2002

  6. Central Ref System References provided by Frequency Standard 5 MHz -Will be used to generate 128 MHz 100 MHZ -Available, if necessary for PCAL References provided by GPS 1PPS - To synchronize all EVLA Clocks to UTC - To monitor time drift EVLA LO-IF PDR 22 January 2002

  7. Central Ref System References generated 128 MHz – Generated from maser 5 MHz and used to generate all other references. Clock for the Transition Converter. 256 MHz – Clock for the IF Data Deformatters 512 MHz – Sent to the Offset Gen and transmitted to the antennas 32 MHz - Modulated with Timing Signals and then transmitted to the antennas EVLA LO-IF PDR 22 January 2002

  8. Central Ref System References generated 128 Hz – Sent to Master Offset Generator and Round Trip Phase Receivers 19.2 Hz – Timing for Transition Period N x10mSec – Timing when new hardware is on line EVLA LO-IF PDR 22 January 2002

  9. Central Ref System Critical Units • 128 MHz Gen – PLL Synth with loop BW set to take advantage of maser and VCXO phase noise • 19.2 Hz Gen – DDS • 128 Hz Gen – PLD • Timing Modulator • Nx10mSec Generator EVLA LO-IF PDR 22 January 2002

  10. Antenna Ref System REQUIREMENTS • Receive, generate, and distribute references • Provide amplitude and phase comp as needed • Generate a PCAL comb • Monitor phase of 4.096 GHz vs 128 MHz • Demodulate Timing Signals EVLA LO-IF PDR 22 January 2002

  11. Antenna Ref System References Received 512 MHz – Cleaned up for RTP and gen of other antenna frequencies 100 MHz – Reference for PCAL Generator 32 MHz - Modulated with timing signals EVLA LO-IF PDR 22 January 2002

  12. Antenna Ref System References Generated 256 MHz – Clock for FTS in 1rst and 2nd LO Synths, Ref for sampler modules and DTS modules 128 MHz Comb – Ref for 2nd LO Synth 512 MHz Comb – Ref for 1rst LO Synth 1.024 GHz - Ref for 4/P to L-Band Converter EVLA LO-IF PDR 22 January 2002

  13. Antenna Ref System References Generated 2.048 GHz – Clock for LB Sampler Modules 4.096 GHz – Clock for HB Sampler Modules 19.2 Hz – Timing for Transition Period Nx10mSec – Timing when new hardware is on line EVLA LO-IF PDR 22 January 2002

  14. Antenna Ref System PCAL Generator • VLBA Compatibility • Used on 3 Antennas • Will require 5 or 100 MHz sent to antennas • VLBA Tunnel Diode is now obsolete EVLA LO-IF PDR 22 January 2002
