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.

KVN 샘플러의 국산화를 위하여, 우리는 지난 3년간의 연구로 1GHz 샘플러 Proto-Type을 설계하고 제작하였다. 첨단망인 KREONET을 이용하여 각 전파천문대를 연결하고, 바로 대전 센터로 관측 데이터를 전송하는 e-VLBI를 구현할 수 있다면, 연구의 가치와 효율을 극대화 할 수 있다. 이를 위하여 샘플러에서 직접 첨단망으로 VDIF(VLBI Data Interchange Format, VLBI 자료전송 규격)의 자료를 보낼 수 있게 새로운 샘플러를 설계하고 제작하고자 한다.

Mark6는 최대 16Gbps의 데이터 입출력을 지원하는 차세대 기록 시스템으로서 올 하반기 내에 KVN의 관측 연구에 활용되기 위해 현재 기록 실험이 진행 중에 있다. VDIF(VLBI Data Interchage Format) 기반의 Mark6가 KVN 각 사이트에서 실제 관측에 활용되기 위해서는 FILA10G, VOA(VSI Optical Adapter) 등의 VSI-VDIF 컨버터가 수반되어야 하며 샘플러, DAS(Data Acquisition System) 등 내부적으로도 많은 시스템 변화가 필요하다. 본 발표에서는 기본 사양, 동작 원리 등 Mark6에 대한 간단한 소개를 시작으로 데이터 기록 실험 결과에 대해 설명하고자 한다. 나아가 이를 기반으로 향후 KVN의 광대역 관측 수행을 위한 Mark6의 활용 방안에 대해 살펴보고자 한다.

The relative contributions of physical and chemical processes to the production of ozone ($O_3$) were evaluated based on an integrated process rate (IPR) analysis using the MM5/CMAQ in a downtown (i.e., Yangsan_U) and suburban area (i.e., Ungsang) on high ozone days during spring and summer in 2006 (28 April and 8 August 2006). The IPR includes a horizontal advection (HADV) and diffusion (HDIF), a vertical advection (ZADV) and diffusion (VDlF), a dry deposition (DDEP), and a chemistry (CHEM). The VDIF in Yangsan_U was found to be the most dominant contributor (29.5% in spring and 32.1% in summer) to high $O_3$ concentrations, followed by the HADV and ZADV. In contrast, the contributions of the HADV (40.3% in spring and 32.3% in summer) in Ungsang were significantly higher than those of VDIF and ZADV. Moreover, $O_3$ production due to the chemical effect in the two areas (especially in Ungsang) during summer was found to be moderately higher than that during spring.

This paper describes the development of the observational data transmission algorithm for high-speed network in radio astronomy. For the preprocessing of VLBI data observed by radio telescope, data transmission algorithm uses the VDIF specification, VDIFCP, and UDP protocol by transferring VLBI data stored in a massive storage server with one-to-one correspondence between the server and the RVDB of Daejeon correlator. A transmission method is proposed, which reads the recorded data in Mark5B VSI format and trnasmits 2048 Mbps VLBI data by software through UDP packet transmission, while RVDB system is waiting for the transmitting data from the server. In order to check the effectiveness of the proposed method, the data transmission between the massive storage server and RVDB is conducted and the transmitted data is correlated by Daejeon correlator for the accurate comparison concerning the data before and after. The transmitted data is shown to be completely the same as the original data without any data transmission loss. Henceforth, the developed data transmission algorithm in this research is expected to be applied effectively as e-VLBI for KaVA network.

In this paper, we evaluate the basic test results of the 32 Gbps observational equipment introduced as the back-end system for the wideband VLBI (Very Long Baseline Interferometry) observation of KVN (Korean VLBI Network). Radio astronomers want to make a large radio telescope that has excellent performance in order to observe the superfine structure of a celestial body, but a lot of money is needed. Therefore, in order to increase the sensitivity, the performance improvement of the receiving system and the method of observing the wide frequency bandwidth are introduced. To do this, we adopted a wideband sampling method for converting analog signals to digital with ultra-fast speeds and a wideband sampler for performing digital filtering in order to observe a wide observational frequency bandwidth. The wideband sampler (OCTAD-K) supports up to 16 Gsps-2bits sampling and supports a variety of observational bandwidth using digital filtering techniques. In particular, it is designed to support KVN's 4-frequency simultaneous observation system and VERA(VLBI Exploration of Radio Astrometry)'s 2-beam observation system. It can also support polKVN(Korean VLBI Network), KaVA(KVN and VERA Array), 32Gbps Direct Sampler, Digital Filter, Widebandarization observations and supports the standard VDIF(VLBI Data Interchange Format) format of observed data. In this paper, the performance of the system and the problem solving are described in detail after performing the factory inspection and field test before the system is introduced.

It is very hard to find the system which processes single 10Gbps stream, and the related application is also rare. But in the field of science such as physics and astronomy, these high speed systems have been widely used and now more upgraded performance is expected. For this reason, high speed network based storage which captures and records 10Gbps level of packets was developed for the support of small astronomical company in KASI. But for the use of the system in research, system performance should be not only evaluated but also optimized. In this paper, we first implement system environment for the performance evaluation and discuss the experiment procedure and solution to acquire numerical results.

UDP is an unreliable data transmission protocol, in contrast to TCP, which implements reliable data delivery based on flow control and retransmission methods. However, the TCP operation algorithm for guaranteeing reliability is inefficient in improving transmission performance, and above all, there is no need to transmit data using the TCP method for fields that do not require perfect integrity. In this paper, we intend to discuss ways to improve the stability while maintaining the existing performance of UDP. To this end, a program applied with packet buffering and relaying techniques was developed, and the performance and stability of the experiment were verified.

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.
