The development of a gigabit VLBI system and an Internet VLBI system at CRL is carried out as one of subjects to promote “Research on key technologies to establish the space-time infrastructure in the space”, a new project started two years ago. First we have developed a tape-based gigabit VLBI system. Some geodetic VLBI experiments were performed using this system. In parallel with the development of the tape-based system, a real-time gigabit VLBI system has been developed in collaboration with National Astronomical Observatory Japan (NAOJ), Institute of Space and Astronautical Science (ISAS) and Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corp.(NTT). In the real-time system, VLBI data are transmitted through the high speed ATM network to a correlator. We successfully carried out the first real-time 1 Gbps VLBI experiment using Kashima 34m antenna and Usuda 64m antenna on June 23, 2001, and first real-time fringes were successfully detected. In addition to the success in 1 Gbps real-time VLBI, we also succeeded in 2 Gbps tape-based VLBI on December 12, 2001. On the other hand a new real-time VLBI system using IP (Internet protocol) technology called “IP-VLBI” or “Internet VLBI” has been developed since 1999 to reduce network-cost and to expand connection sites. We have been developing the IP-VLBI system as a PC-based system consisting of a PCI-bus sampler board and PC softwares to make real-time data transmission, reception and correlation.
