PVO VENUS EFD BROWSE ELECTRIC FIELD 24SEC AVGS V1.0

Published by planetary plasma interactions | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: April 04, 2026 | Last Modified: 2026-03-30
This data set contains wave electricfield amplitudes measured at four different frequencies by the Pioneer VenusOrbiter Electric Field Detector. The data are averaged over 24 secondintervals on 12 second centers. Each averaging interval contains both theminimum amplitude, average amplitude and peak amplitude for that interval ateach of the four frequencies. 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 amplitudes are given in V/m/root(Hz).The filters are continuously active, but data are only provided at arate determined by the spacecraft telemetry rate. The wave antennais oriented perpendicular to the spacecraft spin axis, and so the waveinstrument measures only wave fields in the spacecraft spin plane.The wave antenna is a small Y-shaped structure, with effectiveseparation of 0.76 meters.
