Doppler compensation needed? • Related Matters • Band mismatch • PLL Loop stress • Phase characteristics of onboard instruments • Correlator capability • System construction cost
Band mismatch • Doppler shift: ~1MHz (f=40GHz, rr=7km/s) • Band-mismatch: 126 MHz (128 – 2 MHz) • Degradation of SNR : 0.99 (√126/ 128)
PLL Loop stress • Relation between Doppler rate and PLL : Natural angular frequency of second order loop(rad/sec) : Rate of change of angular frequency (rad/sec2) : Phase error of Phase Lock Loop, threshold ( ~12deg.)
Phase characteristics of instruments • Phase fluctuation dφ by df : • Easy estimation • Hup(f)- Hdown(f)=2πfτ • Group delay characteristicsτ: ~1nsec • Phase fluctuation dφ ~0.36 deg (df~1MHz) • Phase characteristics measurements needed before launch
Data Storage • Storage Terminal with VSI • Mark5B (Haystack) • K5-VSI (NiCT) • Clock fluctuation compensated by FIFO? • Corrlator interface • VLBA correlator Mark5 • ENV correlator Mark5 • EAVN* correlator Mark5, K5, VERA terminal *EAVN (East Asia VLBI Network)
East Asia VLBI Network Correlator • Korea-Japan Joint VLBI Correlator (KJJVC) • KVN and NAOJ • KVN, VERA, JVN, VSOP-2 • Seoul • 16 stations • Data buffer • Data rate • Max. 8 Gbps/st
Summary • UDSC 10m antenna is expected to VSOP-2 GTS • Doppler compensation system depends on cost. • Several VSI storages are available • Mark5B is better • for operational easiness at three correlators.
