Term: | ResonanceSounder |
Definition: |
A combination of a radio receiver and apulsed transmitter used to study the plasma surrounding a spacecraft byidentifying resonances or cut-offs (of the wave dispersion relation), whosefrequencies are related to the ambient plasma density and magnetic field.When the transmitter is off it is essentially a high frequency-resolutionspectral power receiver. |
