Data Set Information
DATA_SET_NAME GO J PWS REFORMATTED PLAYBACK SPECTRUM ANALYZER FULL V1.0
DATA_SET_ID GO-J-PWS-2-REDR-LPW-SA-FULL-V1.0
NSSDC_DATA_SET_ID
DATA_SET_TERSE_DESCRIPTION Full resolution electric and magnetic wave spectra obtained by the Galileo PWS instrument at Jupiter. The data set includes the electric and magnetic field spectral densities in units of V**2/m**2/Hz and nT**2/Hz respectively.
DATA_SET_DESCRIPTION
This data set includes full resolution electric and magnetic wave
    spectra from the Galileo plasma wave receiver recorded during
    Jupiter orbital operations.  In addition waveform
    survey data (uncalibrated) and all instrument housekeeping data are
    included. The parameters provided for the electric field
    spectral data are uncalibrated data numbers.  Software and
    calibration tables provided as part of this data set allow for fully
    calibrated data for the electric field measurements in raw data
    numbers, voltage at the antenna inputs (V), electric field (V/m),
    electric field spectral density (V**2/m**2/Hz), or power flux
    (W/m**2/Hz).   The sources of these data are the High Frequency
    Receiver, Sweep Frequency Receiver, and Spectrum Analyzer which make
    up the Low Rate Science portion of the PWS.  During the included
    time interval, all receivers were connected to the electric antenna.
    Hence, the temporal resolution for electric measurements is
    18.67 seconds.  Note that the lowest 14 High Frequency Receiver
    channels are sampled twice per 18.67 seconds while the remaining
    channels are sampled only once.  The four Spectrum Analyzer channels
    are each sampled 7 times in an 18.67 sec interval.

    The waveform survey data are generated by the wideband receiver
    portion of the Plasma Wave Instrument.  These data are 4-bit
    measurements of the voltage across the preamplifier input at a rate
    of 201.6 k, 25.2 k or 3.2 k samples per second (for the 80 kHz, 10
    kHz, and 1 kHz bandwidth modes, respectively) using either the
    electric dipole or magnetic search coil antennas.  An automatic gain
    control receiver is used to set the gain at an optimum value so as
    to make the best use of the limited dynamic range afforded by the
    4-bit analog-to-digital converter.  In principle, it is possible to
    use the Automatic Gain Control (AGC) readout contained in the data
    set to calibrate this voltage, but this capability does not
    currently exist for this data set.

    This data set is highly discontinuous in time. Because of the severe
    limitations in the downlink capability of the Galileo spacecraft,
    LPW rate data were recorded only for targeted observations. Most
    of these data were acquired near the Galilean moons, although
    selected observations were made in various locations around the
    magnetosphere. Table 1 below provides a listing of the start and
    stop times of the recorded data segments, organized according to.
    where the data were acquired.

    the data value was good or bad.  A bad parity flag indicates an
    error in the data value and the software provided with this data set
    will ignore such values. However, this is a simple parity scheme,
    hence, even numbers of bit errors will not be flagged as being bad.
    The magnetic spectra contain narrowband interference lines at 2.4
    kHz and harmonics.  Magnetic interference between about 200 Hz and 2
    kHz is occasionally observed and is attributed to the use of a
    grating motor in the UVS instrument.  Missing data are indicated by
    zero.

    At about 1712 SCET on 14 September (day 257) 1997 the low-frequency
    search coil, or some portion of the PWS electronics associated with
    the signals acquired by this sensor suffered a failure which
    increased the noise level and decreased the sensitivity for magnetic
    signals below 2.4 kHz. Some natural signals can be observed in this
    frequency range after the failure, but no attempt has been made as
    of this date to recalibrate the output of this sensor.  After some
    on-board testing of the affected systems it was decided to only use
    the search coils inside of about 15 RJ for the duration of the
    mission.  Inside this distance, it is most likely that intense
    electromagnetic signatures might still be detected in the anomalous
    sensor state.  Outside of 15 RJ, the instrument is in an electric
    field-only mode.

    In the electric field-only mode, every 18.67-second sweep of the
    spectrum analyzer and medium frequency receiver is from the electric
    dipole antenna, effectively improving the temporal resolution of
    the electric field measurements below 100 kHz by a factor of two.
    The high frequency receiver above 100 kHz also sweeps once per 18.67
    seconds, only on the electric antenna.

ABSTRACT_TEXT This data set includes full resolution electric and magnetic wave spectra from the Galileo plasma wave receiver recorded during Jupiter orbital operations. In addition waveform survey data (uncalibrated) and all instrument housekeeping data are included. The parameters provided for the electric field spectral data are uncalibrated data numbers. Software and calibration tables provided as part of this data set allow for fully calibrated data for the electric field measurements in raw data numbers, voltage at the antenna inputs (V), electric field (V/m), electric field spectral density (V**2/m**2/Hz), or power flux (W/m**2/Hz). The sources of these data are the High Frequency Receiver, Sweep Frequency Receiver, and Spectrum Analyzer which make up the Low Rate Science portion of the PWS.
