and Japanese e-VLBI network group

Collaborators

1) Giga-bit Geodesy e-VLBI by using the Super-Sinet between GSI Tsukuba 32m and Gifu 11m (311km apart)

2) Recent progress of the Japanese Giga-bit e-VLBI Network

What is Super-Sinet?

Super-Sinet is the 10Gbps class dedicated network operated by Ministry of Edu. & Sci. for 5 research regions,

1) High Energy Physics & Nuclear Fusion 2) Space Science & Astronomy 3) Bio-informatics 4) Distributed computing (GRID) 5) Nano-technology

connects some National Institutes & Universities

Super-sinetSinet

Last 1-mile to the Super-Sinet

We have to prepare the access fibers to the node!

A CATV company provided fibers from High Energy Laboratory to GSI 32m at Tsukuba (about 10 km)

with reasonable cost

Gifu Prefecture operates Information Super-Highway, we borrowed two dark fibers from Fusion Research Laboratory to Gifu University (about 100km) free,

we obtain two 2.4Gbps links by the WDM technique.

WDM(Wavelength Division Multiplexer) transceiver modules at a Gifu Prefecture’s Information Super Highway link station.

We only use two wavelengths, up to 8links (OC48 or GbE) extensions are possible

Properties of our Giga-bit Geodesy e-VLBI System

Dedicated Network  - 2.4Gbps (OC48) x 2   ATM links - By using up and down links, we realized 4Gbps, 8Gbps will be possible! Real-time correlation , no recording for the raw data - XF type hardware correlator with 256lags - Fringes are found within 5min. and stable for 24hs. Simultaneous observations with K5/Giga-bit system - To check repeatability, reliability and for debugging

Some Problems

Jitter of the sampler about 20ps for about 100 seconds integration (Koyama-san said it should be within several ps) 1 sec. slip of the Correlator outputs It sometimes happens for ch1 and ch3 correlators Systematic drifts of the delay time compared with K4/K5 and Giga-bit e-VLBI systems     ~ 1ns for 24hours experiment

Why Drift exists?

K4 and K5 uses band width synthesis technique

Giga-bit e-VLBI uses all IF bands and no-band width synthesis

Some drifts which can be canceled by the band synthesis technique, i.e.

cable length change by the temperature, are seen?

Next Plan, 22GHz e-VLBI

Install 22GHz band receivers for both Gifu 11m (November 2006) Tsukuba 32m (Nov.2006? by Tsukuba Univ.) 8Gbps(4ch) e-VLBI Oct. 2007 Move a 3stn correlator from Mitaka to Tsukuba Add 4 more ADS1000 samplers (or 2 more ADS3000?) Make 4ch down-converters Apply 32GHz sampler to 22GHz receivers to make narrow bea
