  2. I. Introduction

  3. Wideband Observation in VLBI • Minimum sensitivity for a continuum source in VLBI　　　　　　　　　　⇒ Smin∝ B-1/2 • Expansion of bandwidth with high-speed sampling and data recording for better sensitivity • Conventional VLBI recording system has a dedicated recorder with a magnetic tape drive General-purpose instrument by commercial PC specification having VLBI data recording and correlation function 18 March 2009 동아시아VLBI 워크샵

  4. K5/VSI System • Disk-based VLBI recording system developed by NICT • VLBI Standard Interface (VSI)-compliant data recording with a data rate of 1 Gbps or higher • System configuration at low cost compared to dedicated recording system • Software correlation capability We made test observations using K5/VSI for future EAVN observations K5/VSI recorder (lower) and VSI-H compliant sampler ADS-1000 (upper)(image courtesy of NICT) 18 March 2009 동아시아VLBI 워크샵

  5. II. Observation and Results

  6. Test Observation Summary Yamaguchi 32 m Telescope Kashima 34 m Telescope • Test Observations with K5/VSI • Date: 26, 27 June 2008 • Station: Yamaguchi 32 m, Kashima 34 m(baseline length: 850 km = 30 Mλ) • Frequency: 8 GHz • Target: 3C 273 • Observation made with three sampling modes (512 MHz bandwidth each) • 1 Gsps, 1-bit sampling at each station • 2 Gsps, 2-bit sampling at each station • Mixed recording with 1-bit (Yamaguchi) and 2-bit (Kashima) • Integration time: 1 ~ 10 seconds We are here! 18 March 2009 동아시아VLBI 워크샵

  7. Results • Fringes were successfully detected in 27 June observation for all sampling modes Example of fringe search results. 1-bit quantization, 1 Gbps recording, and integration time of 3 seconds 18 March 2009 동아시아VLBI 워크샵

  8. Results (cont’d) • Expected fringe SNR • 1-bit sampling, B = 512 MHz, τ = 1 sec, Tsys ~ 50 K (Yamaguchi) , ~ 80 K (Kashima), Sν ~ 8 Jy (~ 30 Mλ) Consistent with our observation results MOJAVE 15 GHz visibility plot for 3C273 on 17 July 2008 VLBA calibrator survey 8 GHz visibility plot for 3C273 on 14 July 2004 18 March 2009 동아시아VLBI 워크샵

  9. Results (cont’d) • Effects of integration time and quantization for fringe SNR • Effect of integration time (upper) SNR ∝ t1/2 • Sensitivity relative to the nonquantizing case • 1-bit (2-level): 64% • 2-bit (4-level): 88% • 1/2-bit mixed correlation: 75% → sensitivity relative to the 1-bit quantization (lower) • 1/2-bit mixed correlation:117% • 2-bit (4-level): 138% 18 March 2009 동아시아VLBI 워크샵

  10. Results (cont’d) Calculated and observed fringe SNR for each integration time relative to SNR for the integration time of 1 second in the same sampling mode Effects of integration time for fringe SNR 18 March 2009 동아시아VLBI 워크샵

  11. Results (cont’d) Calculated and observed fringe SNR for each sampling mode relative to SNR for the 1-bit sampling in the same integration time Quantization effects for fringe SNR 18 March 2009 동아시아VLBI 워크샵

  12. Results (cont’d) The results of each fringe SNR are consistent with theoretical values in terms of the integration time and quantization effects. 27 June 2009 results (summary) 18 March 2009 동아시아VLBI 워크샵

  13. III. Future Observation Plan

  14. EAVN Observations with K5/VSI • Sampler with VSI-compliant output format (we suppose the ADS-1000 sampler) ⇒ VLBI observations with K5/VSI • Test observations and initial scientific results with KVN-internal baselines • International VLBI experiments with K5/VSI for EAVN KVN digital data acquisition system 18 March 2009 동아시아VLBI 워크샵

  15. Future Test Observation Test experiments and scientific observations between Korea and Japan • 22/43 GHz receiver installation at KVN Seoul and Ulsan station by June 2009 (Han-san’s talk) • Test observations with VERA and JVN in 2009 • K4/VSOP terminal with 256 Mbps (Miyazaki-san’s talk) • Current development at Yamaguchi University • 22 GHz cooled receiver system installation at Yamaguchi station • New K5/VSI instruments (my talk) 18 March 2009 동아시아VLBI 워크샵

  16. Observation of Young Radio Galaxy • Spectral age, tsyn, of young radio galaxies(CSO, GPS, HFP) (νbr : Synchrotron break frequency) Multifrequency, widebandradio spectra for the lobes Exploring the physical evolution of radio galaxies (Nagai et al. 2006, ApJ, 648, 148) 18 March 2009 동아시아VLBI 워크샵

  17. IV. Summary

  18. Summary • We made VLBI observations with K5/VSI at 8 GHz and fringes were successfully detected. • The results of each fringe SNR are consistent with theoretical values in terms of the integration time and quantization effects. • On the basis of test observation results, we are planning to carry out test experiments and to obtain scientific results. 18 March 2009 동아시아VLBI 워크샵
