Notes:    1.3 cm (K-band) ftp fringe test for session 3/2022
          (4096 Mbps, L+R, 2-bit sampling, 8 x 64 MHz filters)

COVER LETTER:


This is the schedule for the 1.3 cm K-band fringe test on 8th November 2022
involving 14 evn telescopes + eMERLIN: Jb2 Ef Mc Nt On60 T6 Ur Tr Mh Ys Hh Kt Ky Ku Cm Da Kn Pi

The FTP-NME uses a standard setup at 4096 Mbps, except: Ur (2048) Cm Da Kn Pi (512)

KVN can get 4Gbps via new OCTAD backend with 64MHz filters

The schedule consists of long integrations on strong calibrators:

Ftp-fringe tests are scheduled as follows :


11:10:00 3C345      (scan 02, 2 sec)
11:40:00 3C345      (scan 04, 4 sec)
12:10:00 3C345      (scan 06, 2 sec)
12:40:00 J2015+3710 (scan 08, 2 sec)
13:10:00 J2015+3710 (scan 10, 4 sec)
13:40:00 J2015+3710 (scan 12, 2 sec)

SOURCE SCAN SUMMARY FOR SOURCES LISTED ABOVE

     Scan hours are for recording scans only. 
     Baseline hours are only counted for scans above horizon at both ends.

EFFECT OF SOLAR CORONA

  The solar corona can cause unstable phases for sources too close to the Sun.
  SCHED provides warnings at individual scans for distances less than 10 degrees.
  The distance from the Sun to each source in this schedule is:
    Source         Sun distance (deg) 
   3C345               61.9
   J2015+3710          92.7

  Barry Clark estimates from predictions by Ketan Desai of IPM scattering sizes 
  that the Sun will cause amplitude reductions on the  longest VLBA baselines 
  at a solar distance of 60deg F^(-0.6) where F is in GHz. 
  For common VLBI bands, this is: 
       327 MHz        117. deg 
       610 MHz         81. deg 
       1.6 GHz         45. deg 
       2.3 GHz         36. deg 
       5.0 GHz         23. deg 
       8.4 GHz         17. deg 
      15.0 GHz         12. deg 
      22.0 GHz          9. deg 
      43.0 GHz          6. deg
