Microwaves to megabits
Abstract
Receiver and terminal characteristics of the Mark 3 very long baseline interferometry system are described in some detail. The Mark 3 system has 14 IF to video converters, each with built in synthesized local oscillators which have a range of 100 to 500 MHz covered in 10 kHz steps. In the normal wideband continuum mode, all 14 upper and all 14 lower sideband video outputs (each with 2 MHz bandwidth) are recorded with a total data rate of 112 Mbits/sec. In geodetic observations, two IF bands are simultaneously recorded from a dual band (5/X) receiver.
