VG2 J/S/U/N/SS PLASMA WAVE SPECTROMETER RAW WFRM 60MS V1.0

Published by National Aeronautics and Space Administration | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Metadata Last Checked: July 18, 2025 | Last Modified: 2025-07-17
The Voyager 2 Plasma Wave Spectrometer (PWS) raw full resolution data set consists of electric field waveform samples from the Voyager 2 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, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune encounter phases as well as those obtained during the four 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.
