DBBC3 development
Paper i proceeding, 2014
The RadioNet3 JRA project named 'DBBC3' is progressing as planned. The first units of the 4 GHz bandwidth samplers are available as well as the CORE3 processing elements. The first functional mode for both of them has been successfully tested and the construction of two further DBBC3 units is under way. The main parts of the system are shown together with their performance, and an overview of the implementation is presented for data-rates of 32 and 64 Gbps with two examples of their application: a) astronomical for the EVN and for millimetre VLBI with the EHT (Event Horizon Telescope), and b) geodetic for the VGOS broadband network.
