Brent WilloughbyEVLA Front-End CDR – WVR Option 24 April Water Vapor Radiometer Development project Not in EVLA baseline plans If successful, has implications for EVLA

Brent WilloughbyEVLA Front-End CDR – WVR Option 24 April WVR….why? Water vapor emission in the atmosphere increases electrical path length resulting in phase fluctuations in the astronomical data The effect of these fluctuations is greater at shorter wavelengths Measuring fluctuation of the amplitude of water vapor emission at 22 GHz enables a phase correction to be generated and applied to astronomical data

Brent WilloughbyEVLA Front-End CDR – WVR Option 24 April Current WVR system The current WVR detection scheme uses three channels centered on the water line The bandwidth and frequency of the channels are limited by RFI generated in the present LO scheme (From Butler 1999)

Brent WilloughbyEVLA Front-End CDR – WVR Option 24 April Scientific Requirements Defined by need to measure Q band phase fluctuations to 10 deg rms Fractional amplitude stability of 10 –4 Timescales 2 sec to 30 min

Brent WilloughbyEVLA Front-End CDR – WVR Option 24 April WVR prototype stability measurements, using a K band noise diode as source

Brent WilloughbyEVLA Front-End CDR – WVR Option 24 April Baseline length = 800 m, sky clear, 22 GHz Baseline length = 2.5 km, sky cover 50-75%, forming cumulus, 22 GHz Correlation between phase and WVR output for two VLA antennas *BLUE: Phase corrected using the scaled WVR output *RED: Uncorrected phase *GREEN: Scaled WVR output

Brent WilloughbyEVLA Front-End CDR – WVR Option 24 April EVLA Compact WVR Prototype Module The Compact WVR concept uses an integrated module with MMIC and drop-in devices (amps, switches, detectors) and microstrip filters –Cheaper than a connectorized version –Smaller size & less mass –Better thermal stability –Easier to mass produce –More frequency bands (5 filters rather than 3) –“Dark Current” switch allows DC offsets to be determined –Input switch allows selection between LCP & RCP signals or between Rx & a Termination (or Noise Source) for calibration
