Data Set Abstract |
The Voyager 1 Plasma Wave Spectrometer
(PWS) raw full resolution data set consists of electric field waveform
samples from the Voyager 1 Plasma Wave Subsystem waveform receiver
obtained during the entire mission. Data will continue to be added to
the archive on subsequent volumes. The data set encompasses all waveform
observations obtained in the cruise mission phases before, between, and
after the Jupiter and Saturn encounter phases as well as those obtained
during the two encounter phases. Data for this data set are acquired
from the PWS waveform receiver. Data are presented as time series of
4-bit voltage measurements acquired at the rate of 28,800 samples per
second through a 40 Hz to 12 kHz bandpass filter. An automatic gain
control is used to keep the signal within the usable range of the 4-bit
digitization, however, the gain information is not returned to the
ground, hence, there is no direct, absolute calibration. However, a
power spectrum analysis returns a spectrum that has accurate relative
amplitudes between spectral elements. This data set provides the highest
temporal resolution data from the Voyager mission. A browse data set is
included with these data which provides for a graphical search of the
data using a series of thumbnail and full-sized spectrograms which lead
the user to the particular data file(s) of interest. |
