Abstract
We have developed a short baseline interferometry (SBI) system with a directly controlled reference frequency for VLBI time comparison. SBI is a kind of portable clock method in order to calibrate the instrumental delay. Instrumental delay is an important factor in determining the accuracy of time-and-frequency comparisons.
