Status of Usuda 64m• Tracking Akatsuki (Vinus), IKAROS (Solar Sail), GEOTAIL, 

Hayabusa‐2 (minor planet),Procyon (engineering test)

• Observing band C(4.7‐5.0, 6.7 GHz), L(1.4, 1.6 GHz, S(2.2), X(8.4))

• Backends (Recorders)– K5/VSSP 16ch (IP‐VLBI for geodesy)– K5/VSI + ADS3000+ (possible Mark 5 compatible)

• Current observation – Japanese VLBI network (JVN)– Radioastron (under discussion)– Single dish observation (Pulsars, Molecular/Atomic Lines) – Observation of Atmosphere of Solar system objects. – Geodesy (Usuda, Uchinoura (IVS))

Upgrade of X‐band receiver

• X‐band receivers for spacecraft need to have diplexer and filters for transmitter, waveguide switch, which rise system temperature (~ 70K), and limit the bandwidth about 300 MHz.

• We installed new wideband X‐band receiver at receiving‐only feed, and succeeded to achieve 26 K system temperature and more than 512 MHz bandwidth.

Antenna Efficiency and Beam Size

• Antenna Efficiency was measured with observing Planetary Nebula NGC7027.

• We estimate the antenna efficiency of 45±5 % at the #6 horn, which the new X band receiver is attached. 

• Beam size using this receiver is derived as 138 arc seconds.

Future upgrade plans.

• Not good for sensitive antenna• Old L‐band receiver has Tsys ~ 85‐100K, which was used for VSOP‐1. It is higher than current top level receiver.

• We are investigating to improve this value for:HI and OH observation, Pulsar observation.No Upgrade, RX replace, or Feed+RX replace

• C‐band Up‐grade is also planned.• Add CH band (3.3 GHz)• Polarizer for C‐band should be cooled.• Target 20‐30 K.

• Surface accuracy of 0.4 mm rms in 20 years ago• No need to ask operator and can be controlled from Sagamihara

• Investigating whether it is useful for astronomy or stop operation.

• VLBI could be possible (IPVLBI or ADS‐3000 can be connected.)
