초록

우리는 한국우주전파관측망(: Korea VLBI Network: KVN)에 적용 가능한 새로운 디지털 샘플러를 개발하였다. 이 샘플러는 1024MHz 샘플링으로 2bits/sample의 성능을 가지고 있다. 입력 기준 주파수 Clock은 1PPS(: Pulse per second)와 10MHz를 사용하며, 1PPS 신호에 동기되어 UTC(: Universal Time Coordinated) 시각정보가 출력된다. 샘플링된 데이터 출력은 시각정보를 포함한 VSI(: VLBI Standard Interface)규격을 채택하고 있다. 개발된 샘플러의 성능을 검증하기 위하여, KVN 울산전파천문대에 설치하여 우주 전파 관측 시험을 수행하였다. 관측시험 결과, 안정적인 성능을 보여 주었다. 본 논문에서는 새로 개발된 샘플러와 관측 시험 결과를 발표하고자 한다.

We developed new Digital Sampler for KVN(: Korean VLBI Network). The sampler has 1024MHz sampling frequency with 2bits/sample. The sampler's input reference frequencies are 1pps(: pulse per second) and 10MHz, also UTC(: Universal Time Coordinated) time information out with 1PPS signal, synchronized. The output of sampling data is adapted VSI(: VLBI Standard Interface) specification including the time information. In order to confirm the performance of the sampler, we carried out the astronomical radio observation test in Ulsan Radio Observatory of KVN. It was confirmed the stable performance. In this paper, We introduce the new developed sampler and present the observational test result.
