Influence of Signals from Different Sources on the Real-time Resolution of Differential Time Delay in Same Beam VLBI
摘要
Abstract
Rstar and Vstar are two satellites of Japanese SELENE pro ject, each carries two crystal oscillators on board as the sources of VLBI signals, one generates frequency f1, the other generates frequency f2 and f3. Analysis of the VLBI same-beam data from Rstar and Vstar shows that much phase error was generated by differential frequency multiplies differential instrumental delay, when using the correlation phases of frequency f1 and f3 to resolve differential time delay, thus the accuracy of differential group delay was impaired, and the chances of successfully resolving differential phase delay were low. This paper shows the error mentioned above can be reduced by 64 times, when using the correlation phases of frequency f2 and f3 to resolve differential time delay, this improves the accuracy of differ-ential group delay comparing to the first method, and increases the chances of successfully resolving differential phase delay. In addition, this paper shows if instrumental delay (in-cluding clock offset) between each two VLBI stations are to be corrected to 1 micro-second level by observing quasars, the chances of successfully resolving differential phase delay can be improved further. We also present a design of onboard radio sources, which is suitable for same beam VLBI observations.关键词
