1 Phase calibration in prototype VLBI2010 systems Brian Corey (MIT Haystack Observatory) With thanks for contributions by: Alan Rogers, Roger Cappallo, Mike Titus, Chris Beaudoin, Jason SooHoo (Haystack) Irv Diegel (HTSI) Katie Pazamickas (ITT Exelis) and everyone else in the NASA-supported Broadband Development group
2 Primary function: Measure instrumental variations over time. Digital back-ends have not made phase cal obsolete! Phase cal needed in VLBI2010 to measure LO phase drifts between bands Phase/delay drifts in RF/IF analog electronics and cables/fibers Increase pulse repetition rate from 1 to 5 or 10 MHz Reduces likelihood of saturation in broadband system Tones still strong enough to meet phase precision spec Broadband pcal generator deployed in NASA VLBI2010 test-bed receivers at GGAO and Westford Options for pcal injection point Phase calibration in VLBI2010 feed LNA 2012 October 22 International VLBI Technology Workshop 2
3 Specs on VLBI2010 phase cal performance Multiple (at least 5) pcal tones within each baseband channel (~32 MHz BW) Pcal phase 1-σ measurement precision <~ 1 in 1 second for each tone Peak pulse power / P1dB < -10 db Pulse temporal stability < 0.3 ps variations that depend on antenna orientation Allan std dev < 50 minutes On other time scales, ASD scales with typical maser performance. Upper limits on time-varying spurious signals For spurs that do not vary with antenna orientation Sufficient condition: spurs < -40 db relative to pcal Necessary condition: delay error < 3 ps over 1 GHz and < 1 ps over 3 GHz For spurs that vary with antenna orientation Sufficient: spurs < -50 db relative to pcal Necessary: phase error < radian & delay error < 0.3 ps over 3 GHz 2012 October 22 International VLBI Technology Workshop 3
4 Haystack digital phase calibrator High-speed logic devices can replace tunnel diodes in older pulse gen designs. Digital phase calibrator designed by Alan Rogers (Haystack) 5 or 10 MHz sinewave input; output pulse train at same frequency Output spectrum flatter than in tunnel diode design Pulse delay temperature sensitivity < 1 ps/ C with no external temp. control No support for cable measurement system Circuit diagram and details available at 5 or 10 MHz sinewave clipper comparator logic gate differentiator switch pulse gating signal 5 or 10 MHz pulse train 2012 October 22 International VLBI Technology Workshop 4

6 Broadband phase/noise calibration unit Cal box developed by Honeywell Technical Solutions Inc (HTSI) and Haystack Observatory for broadband front-ends Cal box includes digital phase calibrator noise source db programmable attenuators on phase and noise outputs noise and phase cal gating RF-tight enclosure Peltier temperature controller (ΔT < 0.2 C for 20 C change in ambient T) monitoring of temperature, 5 MHz input level, attenuation, gating Two identical RF outputs with combined pcal+noise Equalizers for phase or noise cal signals can be added if necessary October 22 International VLBI Technology Workshop 6

13 Applying pcal phases to visibility phases in VLBI2010 Traditional Haystack/WACO/Bonn processing uses 1 tone per channel. Throws away information (e.g., channel instrumental delay) and SNR Susceptible to severe phase corruption by a spurious signal Channel-dependent baseband tone frequencies when channel separation (e.g., 2 N MHz) is not integer multiple of pulse rep rate (e.g., 5 or 10 MHz) Multitone phase cal mode in HOPS fourfit Uses all, or a user-defined subset of, pcal tones in each channel Finds best-fit delay in each channel for each station Corrects channel visibility phase with pcal phase calculated at center freq Multitone usage options Adjustable time segmentation interval ( accumulation periods) User-specified fixed additive phase corrections by channel Pcal tone exclusion (e.g., to avoid known spurious signals) 2012 October 22 International VLBI Technology Workshop 13
14 Look for classic amplitude-vs.-phase sinusoids in each tone Compare amplitudes and phases in adjacent tones Fit linear phase-vs.-frequency model to phases for all tones in a band and look at variability of residual phase in each tone over time.
