Investigating the effects of missing data upon VLBI correlation using the VLBI_UDP application
Abstract
The work presented in this paper describes tests conducted to assess the effect that missing data has upon VLBI correlations. Results obtained show that the correlation is resilient under data losses approaching 20% and that the resulting correlation amplitude decreases as 1.2 times the packet loss rate. The results also indicate that while the Station Units are able to cope with at least 2 consecutive missing headers, they need to see at least 2 correct headers otherwise synchronisation is lost.
