n this paper, the residual delay compensation algorithm is proposed for FX-type KJJVC. In case of initial version as that design algorithm of KJJVC, the integer calculation and the cos/sin table for the phase compensation coefficient were introduced in order to speed up of calculation. The mismatch between data timing and residual delay phase and also between bit-jump and residual delay phase were found and fixed. In final design of KJJVC residual delay compensation algorithm, the initialization problem on the rotation memory of residual delay compensation was found when the residual delay compensated value was applied to FFT-segment, and this problem is also fixed by modifying the FPGA code. Using the proposed residual delay compensation algorithm, the band shape of cross power spectrum becomes flat, which means there is no significant loss over the whole bandwidth. To verify the effectiveness of proposed residual delay compensation algorithm, we conducted the correlation experiments for real observation data using the simulator and KJJVC. We confirmed that the designed residual delay compensation algorithm is well applied in KJJVC, and the signal to noise ratio increases by about 8%. 본 논문에서는 FX 형식의 한일상관기(Korea-Japan Joint VLBI Correlator, KJJVC)의 잔차 지연 보정 알고리즘을 제안하였다.

This paper describes the design and development of VSI (VLBI standard interface) optical adapter for transmitting VLBI(Very long baseline interferometry) observation data with optical signal. VSI cable comprised of 80-line is being used for observed data transmission with maximum length of 5-meter between playbacks (Mark5B, VERA2000) and raw VLBI data buffer (RVDB), RVDB and VLBI correlation subsystem (VCS) in Daejeon correlator. It has a plan to conduct the data processing for 16-stations and introduce the 14 RVDB systems in near future. And data loss frequently occurred because of trouble of VSI cable MDR80 connector. By considering the data loss by connector error of VSI cable, RVDB system extension plan, effective space usage and long distance data transmission(e-VLBI), the VSI optical adapter was proposed and developed for effectively transmitting and receiving VLBI data through optical signal. In order to confirming the performance of developed VSI optical adapter, the experiments for data transmission was conducted between playback and RVDB system, and confirmed that data transmission was clearly done without any data loss.

In this paper, we introduce the performance evaluation and development of Raw VLBI Data Buffer(RVDB) system for the synchronized playback processing of observed data in Korea-Japan Joint VLBI Correlator(KJJVC). The high-speed correlation processing system is under development so that the radio data obtained with 8192 channels and 8 Gbps speed from 16 stations will be able to be processed. When the recorded data of each station are played to correlator, the time synchronization of each station is very important because the correlator should process the data obtained with same time and condition. There are many types of recorder systems in the East Asia VLBI Network (EAVN). Therefore it is required to prepare the special time synchronized playback processing system to synchronize the time tag of observed data. The developed RVDB system consists of Data Input Output(DIO), 10GbE switch, and Disk Data Buffer(DDB). It can record the data with maximum 2 Gbps speed, and can play back the data to correlator with nominal 2 Gbps speed. To enable to play back the data of different playback system to the correlator, we developed the high-speed time synchronized playback processing system. We carried out the experiments of playing back and correlation for gigabit correlator and VCS trial product so as to confirm the performance of developed time synchronized playback processing system. In case of online and offline playing back experiment for gigabit correlator, we confirmed that the online and offline correlation results were the same. In case of playing back experiment for VCS trial product, we verified that the wide band and narrow band correlation results were also the same. Through the playing back experiments of RVDB system, the effectiveness of developed RVDB system was verified. In this paper, the system design, construction and experimental results are shown briefly.

VCS의 지연추적과 프린지 회전에 대한 상관결과 고찰

Oh, Se-Jin,Yeom, Jae-Hwan,Roh, Duk-Gyoo,Oh, ChungSik,Jung, Jin-Seung,Chung, Dong-Kyu,Oyama, Tomoaki,Kawaguchi, Noriyuki,Kobayashi, Hideyuki,Kono, Yusuke,Ozeki, Kensuke,Onuki, Hirohumi 한국융합신호처리학회 2012 융합신호처리학회 논문지 (JISPS) Vol.13 No.4

본 논문에서는 VCS의 지연추적과 프린지 회전 모듈의 문제로 인한 상관결과에 대해 고찰한다. VCS는 FX 형식의 상관기로서 도플러 효과에 의한 전체로부터 도달하는 신호의 지연시간과 프린지 위상을 보정하기 위해 지연추적과 프린지 회전 모듈을 채용하고 있다. 관측데이터는 상관기에서 지연추적과 프린지 회전을 통하여 위상정보도 함께 보정되는데, AIPS에서 상관기보다 장시간의 상관적분을 수행함에 따라 위상이 안정되지 않은 것을 확인하였다. 그리고 상관결과의 해석에서 Delay 값이 정상보다 수십 nsec 정도 오차가 발생하였다. 또한 프린지 회전모듈에서 프린지 초기위상을 결정하지 않아서 상관결과의 위상이 FFT segment 단위로 연결되지 않는 것도 확인하였다. 본 논문에서는 이러한 문제들을 해결하기 위해 지연추적 모듈과 프린지 회전 모듈의 경우 위상보정을 담당하는 모듈의 부호가 반대로 동작하는 것과 관측데이터의 초기위상을 사용하도록 수정하였다. 그리고 프린지 회전 파라미터 계산모듈에 오류가 있는 것을 발견하여 VCS의 로직을 담당하는 프로그램을 개선하였다. 이상의 문제점들에 대해서 상관처리 실험을 통하여 본 논문에서 수정 제안한 알고리즘들이 데이터 해석결과에서 정확함을 확인하여, 개발한 VCS 하드웨어 상관기가 정상적으로 동작하는 것을 확인하였다. In this paper, we investigate the correlation result due to the problems of delay tracking and fringe rotation module in the VCS(VLBI Correlation Subsystem). The VCS, FX-type correlator, adopts the delay tracking and fringe rotation module in order to compensate the delay change and fringe phase of wave signal from the radio source by Doppler's effect. The phase of observed data is also compensated by means of delay tracking and fringe rotation in the correlator, but we confirmed that the phase is unstable by applying long integration period of AIPS(Astronomical Image Processing System) rather than correlator. And the delay value of observed data has the errors of several tens nanoseconds than normal case at the analysis of correlation result. In addition, we found that the phase of correlation results is not connected as the unit of FFT-segment because the initial fringe phase at the fringe rotation module is not correctly determined. In this paper, in order to solve these problems, the original direction of 90 degree phase jump is reversely modified when the bit-shift occurred at the delay tracking. And the initial fringe phase at the fringe rotation module is correctly modified by using the initial phase of observed data. In addition, the parameter calculation module was abnormally operated as designed in the fringe rotation. So, the logical program by the VCS is modified so as to calculate the parameters correctly. Through the experiments of correlation processing over the above problems, the modified proposal algorithm is adequately corrected to the data analysis results, so that the experimental results make it clear for us to operate the developed VCS hardware correlator normally.

본 논문에서는 대전상관기의 상관결과 정밀도 향상을 위해 FFT 모듈의 유효비트 확장에 관해 고찰한다. FPGA를 기반으로 하는 대전상관기는 데이터처리의 고속화를 위해 FFT 연산을 고정소수점으로 구현하였다. 그러나 상관결과에서 연산비트의 부족으로 인해 대역폭의 낮은 주파수 영역에서 위상의 0도 집중현상이 발생하고 있다. 이 현상은 관측천체를 분석할 때 위상 집중현상을 제외시키기 때문에 데이터 손실과 같은 효과를 주어 상관결과의 정밀도에 영향을 주고 있다. 따라서 상관결과의 정밀도 향상을 위해 FPGA의 주어진 리소스 범위 내에서 기존 FFT 모듈의 16비트 연산보다 비트수를 확장할 수 있는지에 대한 시뮬레이션을 수행하였다. 시뮬레이션 결과를 통하여 사용한 FPGA 리소스 범위 내에서 FFT 모듈의 유효비트 수는 확장할 수 있으며, FFT 모듈의 20-bit 연산비트가 실험결과의 비교를 통하여 상관결과의 정밀도를 향상시키는데 유효한 것으로 확인되었다. In this paper, we propose the effective bit expansion of FFT module for improving the accuracy of correlation result of the Daejeon correlator. The Daejeon correlator based on FPGA was implemented in order to fast data processing with the fixed-point of FFT operation. In correlation result, however, the phenomenon of phase concentration to 0 degree was appeared in lower frequency area of bandwidth due to lack of operational bit. This phenomenon has an affect on the accuracy of correlation result by introducing the effect of data loss because of excluding phase concentration during analysis of observed radio source. In order to improving the accuracy of correlation result we carried out the simulation by expanding bit-number than 16-bit operation of previous FFT module within given resource limits of FPGA. Through the simulation results, the effective bit number for FFT module within used FPGA resource limits is able to expand, and we confirmed that the operational 20-bit of FFT module is effective for improving accuracy of correlation result by comparing with experimental result.

상관결과의 왜곡 방지를 위한 재양자화 방법에 관한 연구

In this paper, we propose a new re-quantization method after FFT processing to prevent the distortion of correlation result of VCS (VLBI Correlation Subsystem). The re-quantization is used to rearrange the data bit so as to reduce the data rate processed as 16-bit of FFT result of VCS. Having done this procedure, we found that the distorted spectrum of correlation result occurred in the delay tracking experiments by the re-quantization method introduced for initial design of VCS. In order to solve this, two kinds of re-quantization method, that is, the comparison and selection-type, are proposed. The first is to re-quantize the FFT result as a valid-bit by comparing with the input data after determining the adequate threshold. The second is manually to select the valid-bit of FFT result after finding the valid-field of data according to the bit-distribution of input data. We confirmed that the second is more effective compared with the first through the experimental result, and it will be implemented without so much modification of applied method in the condition of the limited resource of FPGA. The re-quantization is, however, carried out with 4-bit in the proposed second method for FFT result, and then the distortion of correlation result is also appeared. To fix this problem, the bit for re-quantization is extended to 8-bit. The proposed 8-bit selection-type is effectively verified so that the distortion of correlation result disappeared by applying to VCS in consequence of the simulation and correlation experiments.

This paper describes the development of algorithm for direct data transmission between Raw VLBI Data Buffer (RVDB) and Huge Capacity Data Server (HCDS) operated in Korea-Japan Correlation Center (KJCC). The transmitted data is the VLBI observation data, which is recorded at each radio telescope site, and the data transmitting rate is varying from 1 Gbps, in usual case, upto 8 Gbps. The developed algorithm for data transmission enables the direct data transmission between RVDB and HCDS through 10 Gbps optical network using VLBI Data Interchange Format (VDIF). Proposed method adopts the conventional UDP/IP protocol, but in order to prevent the loss of data during data transmission, the packet error monitoring and data re-transmission functions are newly designed. The VDIF specification and VDIFCP (VDIF Control Protocol) are used for the direct data transmission between RVDB and HCDS. To validate the developed algorithm for data transmission, we conducted the data transmission from RVDB to HCDS, and compared to the transmitted data with the original data bit by bit. We confirmed that the transmitted data is identical to the original data without any loss and it has been recovered well even if there were some packet losses.
