Find a Node - Use these links to navigate to any of the 8 publicly accessible PDS Nodes.

This bar indicates that you are within the PDS enterprise which includes 6 science discipline nodes and 2 support nodes which are overseen by the Project Management Office at NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC). Each node is led by an expert in the subject discipline, supported by an advisory group of other practitioners of that discipline, and subject to selection and approval under a regular NASA Research Announcement.

Data Set Abstract This data set consists ofelectric field waveform samples from the Voyager 2 Plasma WaveReceiver waveform receiver obtained during the Uranus encounter.The waveforms are collections of 4-bit samples of the electricfield measured by the dipole electric antenna at a rate of 28,800samples per second. 1600 samples are collected in 55.56 msecfollowed by a 4.44-msec gap. Each 60-msec interval constitutes aline of waveform samples. The data set includes about 271 frames ofwaveform samples consisting of up to 800 lines, each. Thetelemetry format for the waveform data is identical to that forimages, hence the use of line and frame as constructs in describingthe form of the data. The waveform is sampled through a bandpassfilter with a passband of 40 Hz to 12 kHz. The 4-bit samplesprovide sixteen digital values of the electric field with alinear amplitude scale, but the amplitude scale is arbitrarybecause of the automatic gain control used in the waveformreceiver. The instantaneous dynamic range afforded by the 4bit samples is about 23 db, but the automatic gain control allowsthe dominant signal in the passband to be set at the optimumlevel to fit within the instantaneous dynamic range. With the gaincontrol, the overall dynamic range of the waveform receiveris about 100 db.
