  4. Accuracy of the Geodesy VLBI • Accuracy of delay time for one observation Δτ ∝ 1/SNR Δτ ∝ 1/Bandwidth ~ 1/(Radio Frequency) • Accuracy of the Geodesy VLBI Formal Error ∝Δτ/√(Number of observations) => e-VLBI with Higher Frequency!

  5. Importance of Geodesy for Radio Astrometry For micro-arcseconds Astrometry => less than 1mm accuracy is required! VERA Project, NAOJ S/X, 22GHz, 43GHz

  6. Status for 22GHz System of Gifu 11m antenna • Install 22GHz receiver (Dec. 2006) Cooled LNA to 11K, Trec~20K Tsys ~ 100K at zenith • 2Gbps e-VLBI Tests (April-Dec. 2007) with NICT Kashima 34m antenna • 1Gbps geodesy VLBI (Tape Recording) with NAOJ VERA (Oct. 2007)

  7. Gifu 11m-Kashima 34m 22GHz Band e-VLBI 2Gbps、16seconds integration SNR~58 (Apr.2007)

  8. Purpose of this Work • Development of the Giga-bit e-VLBI system at 22GHz for Geodesyand Astrometry, 2Gbps x 2ch (Now) 2Gbps x 4ch (Next Step)

  12. Real Time e-VLBI, Gifu11m-Tsukuba 32m Sband was processed at Mitaka Correlator Xband was processed at Gifu Correlator Display the fringe pictures every 1 seconds Sband Xband

  13. Geodesy VLBI with K4/K5 and e-VLBI Results of the K4/K5 and e-VLBI coincidents within 3mm !

  14. Problems for Wide-Band VLBI(found from S/X bands e-VLBI) • K4 or K5 uses Narrow Bands System with P-cal , video converters, and many samplers => Determine delay time by Band Width Synthesis Method • Giga-bit system uses Wide Band IF with only one sampler! How can we determine Delay Time?

  15. Tsukuba32m-Gifu11m e-VLBI data 1 second integration data Giga-bit e-VLBI data have very high SNRs , can determine delay time every 1 second! Delay time by Gaussian fitting 1ns 1 sigma 40ps, 100seconds =>4ps 1024MHz sampling =>1 lag ~ 1 ns

  16. Delay time determination from phase gradient Phase(degree) Original data Frequency (MHz) Rotate phases when gap exists Liner Fitting => delay time

  17. Problem for the Phase Gradient Method Phase shift caused by the band pass filter

  18. Accuracy of the delay time,Gaussian fitting vs Phase gradient => Gaussian fitting method is better Sigma of the delay time by phase gradient [ps] Weak Source Strong Source Sigma of the delay time by Gaussian fitting [ps]

  19. High Speed A/D converter • NAOJ is now developing 35GHz A/D => Direct Sampling should be possible at 22GHz with higher mode sampling mode => No Band Pass Filters, Down Converters! => Good phase stability for wider band width!

  20. InP HBT AD Converterdeveloped by NAOJ A 32-GHz signal was successfully digitized with 3 bits. (Kawaguchi, 2006) DMX RF  Signal DMX ADC

  21. Another Problem for Giga-bit e-VLBI • Comparison of the delay time for K4, K5, and Giga-bit e-VLBI => large drift of the delay time exists only for Giga-bit e-VLBI!

  22. Differences of the delay time for K4 and Giga-bit e-VLBI K4 - Giga-bit e-VLBI Xband pico-seconds 1ns 1day Obs. #

  23. Differences of the delay time for K5 and Giga-bit e-VLBI Almost same as K4 K5 - Giga-bit e-VLBI Xband pico-seconds

  24. Differences of the delay time for K4 and K5 No large drift! K4-K5 (JD0404) Xband pico-seconds

  25. K5 - Giga-bit e-VLBI Xband Sband

  26. P-cal system cancels the delay time drift by using the same path for reference signal transfer with down converter! Receiver Room LNA P-cal Down Converter Observation Room VLBI Back end IF signal by optical fiber cable 5MHz signal by co-axial copper cable Hydrogen Maser More than 100m for large Antenna

  27. Giga-bit e-VLBI system for 22GHz • High Speed Sampler, working at 22GHz Eliminate band-pass filter and down converters Use digital filter for multi-channel analysis • P-cal injection for Phase calibration and delay time correction

  28. Receiver Room LNA P-cal A/D Converter Digital Filter Observation Room VLBI Backend VSI data by optical fiber cable Hydrogen Maser 5MHz signal by co-axial copper cable More than 100m for large Antenna

  29. Conclusion • Radio Astrometry needs Geodesy VLBI • 22GHz e-VLBI system is under-developing • Some Problems were fond for Giga-bit e-VLBI, but will be cleared by using the new RF A/D converter and P-cal system!
