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

Geodesy VLBI with K4/K5 and e-VLBI Results of the K4/K5 and e-VLBI coincidents within 3mm !
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?
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
Delay time determination from phase gradient Phase(degree) Original data Frequency (MHz) Rotate phases when gap exists Liner Fitting => delay time
Problem for the Phase Gradient Method Phase shift caused by the band pass filter
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]
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!
InP HBT AD Converterdeveloped by NAOJ A 32-GHz signal was successfully digitized with 3 bits. (Kawaguchi, 2006) DMX RF Signal DMX ADC
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!
Differences of the delay time for K4 and Giga-bit e-VLBI K4 - Giga-bit e-VLBI Xband pico-seconds 1ns 1day Obs. #
Differences of the delay time for K5 and Giga-bit e-VLBI Almost same as K4 K5 - Giga-bit e-VLBI Xband pico-seconds
Differences of the delay time for K4 and K5 No large drift! K4-K5 (JD0404) Xband pico-seconds
K5 - Giga-bit e-VLBI Xband Sband
P-cal system cancels the delay time drift by using the same path for reference signal transfer with down converter!

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
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
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!
