Horizontal axis gives frequency in units of 10000 Hz (full scale, 25000 Hz). Vertical axis is in dB with plots spaced by 1 dB. Time increases by 60 seconds with each plot, bottom to top and starting with 13:47:50. Left panel shows right-circularly polarized (RCP) channel; echo is centered at 10 kHz in first plot, then drifts to lower frequency and may broaden. Direct signal from spacecraft is narrow spike near 21 kHz, radiated via a sidelobe of the high-gain antenna. Right panel shows left-circularly polarized (LCP) channel with little or no echo visible, but occasional glimpses of the direct signal. At these incidence angles on the surface (about 70 degrees) the RCP echo is expected to be the stronger. In both channels, ripple in the bandpass filter is comparable to the echo; it will be removed using a filter characterization based on receiver response with only noise as the input. Based on the predicted orbit, the MPL/DS2 target area (76.5S, 195W) would have been crossed during acquisition of data in the third spectrum." END_OBJECT = PS_DOCUMENT END
