Wind Radio/Plasma Wave, (WAVES) Radio Receiver Band 2 (RAD2) Data

Published by CDAWeb, SPDF | National Aeronautics and Space Administration | Catalog Last Checked: September 01, 2026 at 11:51 PM | Dataset Last Updated: September 01, 2026
Wind Waves RAD2 data in CDF format. Radio receiver band 2 (RAD2) is the high frequency radio astronomy receiver. It sweeps over the range of 1.075 to 13.825 MHz with as many as 256 channels. However, some of the time the number of channels is restricted to 16 or 32 so that direction of arrival and polarization information can be obtained. Radio receiver band 1 (RAD1) is the low frequency radio astronomy receiver. It sweeps over the range of 20 to 1040 kHz with as many as 256 channels. However, some of the time the number of channels is restricted to 16 or 32 so that direction of arrival and polarization information can be obtained. The overall frequency range is 4 - 256 kHz.
