Data Set Overview
=================
The Juno Waves calibrated full resolution survey data set includes all
low rate science electric spectral densities from 50Hz to 41MHz and
magnetic spectral densities from 50Hz to 20kHz with complete sweeps at
30, 10 and 1 second intervals depending on the instrument mode. This is
a complete full resolution data set containing all low rate science data
received from Waves from launch until the end of mission including near
Earth checkout, the Earth flyby, the Jupiter orbits and all cruise data.
Data are acquired from the Waves Low Frequency Receiver (LFR) and High
Frequency Receiver (HFR) and are processed into spectra in flight.
These data are presented as ASCII text spreadsheets for ease of use.
This data set is intended to be the most comprehensive and complete data
set included in the Juno Waves archive. Pre-rendered spectrograms
generated from these data are included as well to lead the user to the
particular data file(s) of interest. This data set should be among the
first used of any in the Waves archive as it will lead one to the
information required to locate more detailed products.
Parameters
==========
This data set consists of electric and magnetic field spectral densities
in the following frequency bands:
Spectral Density Frequency Range Receiver, Band
---------------- ------------------ ------------------------
Magnetic 50 Hz to 20 kHz LFR, B
Electric 50 Hz to 20 kHz LFR, Lo E
Electric 19 kHz to 150 kHz LFR, Hi E
Electric 133 kHz to 3 MHz HFR (44 or 45), Baseband
Electric 3 MHz to 41 MHz HFR (44 or 45), Hi Bands
The frequency bands are derived from the analysis bandwidths of the Low
Frequency Receiver (LFR) and High Frequency Receivers (HFR-44, HFR-45).
The the center frequencies of the bins are roughly log spaced in
frequency. The time between frequency sweeps depends on the instrument
operating mode as follows:
1. Periapsis Cadence - 1 complete sweep per second
2. Intermediate Cadence - 1 complete sweep every 10 seconds
3. Apoapsis Cadence - 1 complete sweep every 30 seconds
Additional cadences can be programmed in flight should the science or
unknown operating constraints dictate.
Typically electric measurements from 50 Hz to 150 kHz and magnetic
measurements from 20 kHz to 20 kHz are measured simultaneously,
however this is not always the case. Waves has the ability to sample
solar panel switching noise and to mitigate this noise to a limited
extent. When operating in this mode it is not possible to collect all
data below 150 kHz simultaneously. In these instances time tags on
the magnetic data will not line up with time tags on the corresponding
electric, however in either case timing information in the data files
are accurate and should be relied upon when processing the data.
Electric Antenna Length
-----------------------
Originally Waves Survey electric field data were calibrated using
an effective antenna length of 2.41 m based on the geometry of the
deployed, physical antenna elements. Starting with release 14 (Sept.
2020) the effective antenna length was revised to 0.5 m and all
previously released data product files were regenerated and re-released
using the new value. The rationale for this revision is summarized
below.
In very simple terms, the Waves instrument measures the differential
potential between the two elements of the electric antenna. The
electric field E is simply:
-V/Leff
where V is the measured potential and Leff is the effective antenna
length.
The pre-launch calibration utilized the geometric antenna length which
is basically the distance between the mid-points of the two conducting
antenna elements, 2.41 m. The second revision calibration modifies this
length by two important electrical considerations. These are discussed
in detail by Kurth et al. (2017)
https://doi.org/10.1007/s11214-017-0396-y, but the first involves taking
the complex and large surrounding spacecraft structure, including the
solar panels, into account. This structure is the ground plane for the
antenna system. Given the very short antenna elements (2.8 m) in the
presence of the spacecraft with ~ 8-m solar panels and associated
structure, the spacecraft effectively decreases the effective length of
the antenna system. This effect was studied by Sampl et al. (2012;
2016) https://doi.org/10.1002/2016RS005954, using both an analog
rheometry analysis as well as a surface patch model of the spacecraft.
The result is that the antenna has an effective length, after taking
into account the complex ground plane of the spacecraft of 1.46 m.
The second effect is a capacitive divider effect due to the base
capacitance of the antenna and the capacitance of the antenna to space.
While the base capacitance is somewhat uncertain, this is effectively a
decrease in sensitivity (equivalently, another decrease in effective
length) of 8 db. Combining these, we've used an effective antenna
length of
0.5 meters
for the Juno electric antenna in the second revision calibration tables.
Clearly, this means the newly-calibrated electric field associated with
a 1-V potential difference is 4.8 times greater than the old one. And,
spectral densities that are proportional to E**2 will increase by a
factor of about 23.
Processing
==========
Data products for this data set were generated by the CDR data
production pipeline as described in section 3 of the VOLSIS document
found under the DOCUMENTS sub-directory. The inputs to the processing
are:
1. Science and Housekeeping packets from the Waves Level 2 data set.
2. Calibration tables located on this volume.
3. NAIF Juno mission SPICE kernels.
4. A listing of mission phase names and orbit number by UTC.
The result of the processing is one spreadsheet file per frequency band
per day in which data are available.
The WAVES_CAL document in the DOCUMENT directory provides details of
the calibration process. These data are calibrated using the best
calibration tables and algorithms available at the time the data were
archived. Should a significant improvement in calibration become
available, an erratum will be noted in the erratum section. Later
versions of the products may contain better calibrations.
Data
====
The Waves calibrated full resolution survey mode data set includes five
ASCII spreadsheets of wave spectra as a function of time from both the
upper and lower band of the LFR, the lower band of the HFR as well as
the upper spectrum analyzer bands of the HFR. Each spreadsheet
contains a fixed number of fields containing the measurement initiation
times by spacecraft clock and UTC, a flag to indicate the employment of
on-board noise mitigation techniques, a flag to indicate whether the
row is a science measurement or a noise sample spectra, and a flag to
indicate the presence of burst mode data near the given measurement
time, as well as one field for each frequency bin.
Typically electric measurements from 50 Hz to 150 kHz and magnetic
measurements from 20 kHz to 20 kHz are measured simultaneously,
however this is not always the case. Waves has the ability to sample
solar panel switching noise and to mitigate this noise to a limited
extent. When operating in this mode it is not possible to collect all
data below 150 kHz simultaneously. In these instances time tags on
the magnetic data will not line up with time tags on the corresponding
electric data, however regardless of the operating mode timing
information in the data files is accurate and should be relied upon when
processing these data instead of assuming any particular time
correspondence between receiver bands and sensors.
Ancillary Data
==============
Ancillary data included with the data set collection include a series
of files that describe the Waves operating modes as a function of
time and provide a time-ordered listing of the Instrument Expanded
Block (IEB) trigger commands (WAV_MAJOR_MODE) (the mode by which Waves
is reconfigured). Also a detailed description of each of the modes
(or IEBs) is provided.
Other data which are ancillary to this data set, but which are archived
separately from this collection are the Navigation and Ancillary
Information Facility's SPICE kernels describing the position and
attitude of Juno and various solar system bodies as a function of time.
Coordinate Systems
==================
The data in this data set are measurements of wave electric and
magnetic field spectral densities measured by the Waves electric and
magnetic sensors. These fields are presented as detected by the sensors
and are not rotated into any other coordinate system. If desired the
SPICE kernels can be used with the SPICE toolkit to convert from the
spacecraft frame to virtually any frame which may be of use in analyzing
these data. However, for many purposes, because of the broad beam of
the dipole-like sensors, the spectral densities are extremely useful and
may be entirely adequate with no coordinate transformations at all.
Software
========
As these data are calibrated and in simple ASCII form, no software is
provided, and none is required, for conversion or interpretation.
However the EXTRAS/SOFTWARE directory does contain the viewing tool used
to generate the BROWSE directory spectrograms. This tool may be used to
'zoom in' on regions of interest and to view burst mode data when
available.
Media/Format
============
This data set is provided to the Planetary Data System electronically
as part of a volume level 'tarball' file, though the standards for file
names, directory names and path lengths follow the guidelines provided
in the 'Planetary Data System Standards Reference', version 3.8, under
section 10.1.3, 'Specification for Files Delivered Electronically'.
The 'tarball' file contains all files for a release of this volume in a
single GNU Tar file that has then been compressed via the GNU gzip
utility. The tar file preserves the relative directory path for each
file so when unpacked the original volume directory structure is
recreated. See Section 4 of the VOLSIS for more details on the data
transfer methods.
The primary data products are comma separated values (CSV) files. Since
this is a survey product, an attempt has been made to group a single
sweep of all frequency ranges routinely covered by the instrument into
single rows in the product data files. In actuality every receiver
section may be scheduled independently of the others and there are
operational modes where it is not possible to include measurements from
all frequencies with a single row in the product files.
At Apoapsis Cadence (1 sweep/30 seconds), or Intermediate Cadence
(1 sweep/10 seconds), one row in the product data files typically
contains an amplitude measurement for each frequency. However when
operating in one of the Periapsis Cadence modes (~1 sweep/second)
certain instrument bands will only be sampled once for every two times
a higher frequency band is covered. In these cases a single row in the
data product files may have many empty entries. This is normal and
reflects the original collection scheduling. It is not a transmission
error nor a processing error.

CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE |
Confidence Level Overview
=========================
This data set contains all survey mode full resolution calibrated data
for the Juno Waves instrument for the interval defined by the START_TIME
and STOP_TIME elements above. Every effort has been made to ensure that
all data returned to the ground from the spacecraft are included and
that the calibration is accurate.
This section will be updated with information on known issues with the
data, such as interference from other spacecraft systems, or other
information needed to use the data with confidence.
Review
======
The Waves calibrated full resolution survey data will be reviewed
internally by the Juno Waves team prior to release to the PDS. The
initial release of this data set was also peer reviewed by the PDS.
Data Coverage and Quality
=========================
The analog-to-digital converter used for the High Frequency Receiver
upper channels (above 3 MHz) has an idiosyncrasy caused by an
oscillation in the chip's reference voltage. As a result, the converted
values can deviate from the correct ones by of order 10 data numbers.
Hence, the HFR channels above 3 MHz may show quasi-random variations
around their correct values when the oscillation is occurring.
Since the same converter is used for some housekeeping parameters, some
of those parameters can be monitored for fluctuations from their nominal
values as an indicator of this condition. We have added a flag in the
QUALITY_FLAGS column of the SURVEY data set to indicate times when we
suspect this condition is present where the flag value of 1 indicates
suspect data and a value of 0 indicates the condition is not suspected.
It is possible for a low-level of this condition to be present in the
HFR channels without the housekeeping parameters indicating the
condition. Experience has shown that resetting the chip can stop or
reduce the oscillation, hence, such a reset can be performed as a part
of setting up major modes. It is planned to do this reset a small
number of times per Jupiter orbit at major mode changes.
The baseband HFR (150 kHz to 3 MHz) has an unidentified temperature-
dependent noise band which can be seen to move through this range of
frequencies as the temperature of Waves varies. Changes in the Waves
mode of operation and/or changes in the power state of other vault-
located equipment have been noted to result in the movement of this
band. Presently, there is no method with which to remove or mitigate
this noise band.
Limitations
===========
The Waves instrument collects data samples via three receivers, the
LFR, HFR-44 and HFR-45. In addition, each receiver contains different
analog signal paths for different frequency bands. Furthermore the
electric and magnetic pre-amps have different gains and there are two
different sensors from which Waves can sample the near space
environment. Taken together this constitutes 17 separate analog signal
pathways that signals may take before being converted to digital data
values. Due the the peculiarities of circuit board layout, part
selection and necessary design compromises, each path potentially
exhibits a different sensitivity range.
The two tables below describe the well-calibrated sensitivity range of
each analog pathway. The well-calibrated range is the input amplitude
region where a proportional change in physical signal amplitude
corresponds to a proportional change in Waves output data numbers in
some well-defined space. In cases below, proportionality is described
in either Linear-Log space, or Log-Log space. Waves data are
calibrated outside this range, however absolute amplitudes become more
uncertain the further above or below this range they occur.

** The HFR_HI 21 MHz channel picks up noise from the Waves micro-
processors. The lower sensitivity bound provided here applies only
to the 21 MHz channel. Other channels in the range 15 to 26 MHz have
a lower noise floor, most likely at about 2.0E-14, but data for these
noise floors were not collected during ground calibrations.
Magnetic Spectral Density Well-calibrated Range

LFR, B Log(DN) vs Log(nT) 6.6E-9 to 1.5E-2 @ 5.0 kHz
Note that the absolute noise floor of certain signal pathways,
especially those involving the LFR, is below the bottom of the well-
calibrated range in the chart above. In most cases this lower end is
not known precisely from direct measurements. This is because ambient
electrical noise in flight is typically much less than the levels seen
in terrestrial calibration environments. Histograms of quit cruise
data provide reasonable estimates of the noise floor of each signal
pathway.
When viewing the included BROWSE images the archive user should know
that calibrations have been applied such that large amplitude signals
(as expected near Jupiter periapsis) are valid. However most cruise
data are near the noise floor of each receiver. Care must be taken when
comparing weak signals across receiver bands. Browse images included
on this volume are designed to correspond to the rough sensitivity
range of each receiver, not to place identical signal amplitudes at
identical hues.
