Data Set Abstract This data set contains wave electricfield amplitudes measured at four different frequencies by the Pioneer VenusOrbiter Electric Field Detector. The four frequencies are 100 Hz, 730 Hz,5.4 kHz, 30 kHz. The frequency filters are narrow-band, with a 30% bandwidth.Thus wave intensities are given in V2/m2/Hz. The filters arecontinuously active, but data are only provided at a rate determinedby the spacecraft telemetry rate. The wave antenna is orientedperpendicular to the spacecraft spin axis, and so the wave instrumentmeasures only wave fields in the spacecraft spin plane.Spin modulation of naturally occurring signals can be used toobtain two dimensional wave field information. The wave antennais a small Y-shaped structure, with effective separation of 0.76meters. The spin phase of the effective dipole is includedwithin the high resolution data set for each of the channels, whichare sampled at different times.
