Trigger 28 Description
Sequence: C25
Trigger 28 (Interplanetary Cruise with Direction-Finding)
This mode is designed to provide a low bit-rate Survey with low temporal
and spectral resolution for periods during cruise. No Wideband or Waveform
measurements are made. The entire RPWS frequency range (1 Hz - 16 MHz) is covered.
Receiver Frequency Range Sensors Time between Snapshots
-------- ---------------- ------- ----------------------
LFR 1 - 25 Hz EX, BX 32 seconds
MFR 25 - 12 KHz EX, BZ 32 seconds
HFR 3.6 KHz - 16 MHz E 64 seconds
The HFR is in direction-finding mode for the frequency range from 3.6 KHz to 2 MHz.
Thus, measurements are made on all three monopoles EU, EV and EW. For higher
frequencies only EX and EW are used.
This mode is defined by:
Correlations Channels Integ. Size Frequency
Band Ant. Auto- Cross- per Band df Period Rep Steps kHz Start - Stop
---- ---- ----- ------ -------- -- ------ --- ----- ---- ------------
ABC 2E y y 16 y 1000 1 3.6-319 kHz
H1 2E y y 1 y 160 1 18 100 325k-2.0MHz
H2 2E y y 1 n 80 1 71 200 2.0M-16MHz
Bands ABC require 6.40 sec to complete, H1 requires 6.07 sec, and H2 requires 6.36 sec
for a total of 18.83 sec per sweep. However, to keep the bit rate down the HFR only
performs one complete sweep every 64 seconds.
