VSOP-2 data transmissionWhy do we need 37-38 GHz?
•Allocation of more than 1 GHz bandwidth VLBI requires wide band width for the observing sensitivity. Candidate 25.5 – 27 GHz, 37 – 38 GHz
•25.5 – 27 GHz is not good because: - Closest uplink allocations are 15.3 (Secondary) or 40 GHz. - A large frequency offset between uplink and downlink leads to a problem in the compensation of the 2 way timing link in VLBI. - We cannot use same scale waveguide circuit for both up and down link signal. - It is close to the 22 GHz observing band.
