Data Set Overview
=================
The Cassini Radio and Plasma Wave Science (RPWS) calibrated full
resolution data set includes all spectral information calibrated in
units of spectral density for the entire Cassini mission. This data
set includes calibrated values for each frequency channel for each
sensor for all times during the mission including the two Venus
flybys, the Earth flyby, the Jupiter flyby, interplanetary cruise,
and the entire Saturn tour. Data for this data set are acquired
from the RPWS Low Frequency Receiver (LFR), Medium Frequency
Receiver (MFR), Medium Frequency Digital Receiver (MFDR) (which can
be used to replace MFR band 2 data) and High Frequency Receiver
(HFR). Data are presented in a set of tables organized so as to
have fixed-length records for ease in data handling. This data set
is intended to be the most comprehensive and complete data set
included in the Cassini RPWS archive. 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. This data set
should be among the first used by a user of any of the RPWS archive
as it will lead one to information required to search for more
detailed or highly specialized products.
Parameters
==========
This data set comprises electric and magnetic field spectral
densities for each sensor, frequency channel, and time step for
which data were acquired by the RPWS.
Processing
==========
Data in this data set were processed by the use of a number of
software programs which assemble segmented mini-packets in the raw
telemetry packets into complete sets, de-compress the data that were
compressed by one of a number of compression algorithms by the RPWS
flight software onboard, apply conversion lookup tables or
algorithms to convert telemetry data numbers into physical units,
and make any corrections required for antenna capacitive loading or
other effects. See chapters 5 - 11 of the RPWSCAL document in the
DOCUMENT directory for details on how the data included in this data
set were calibrated. These data are calibrated using the best
calibration tables and algorithms available at the time the data
were archived. Should a significant improvement in calibration
become available, an erratum will be noted in the erratum section.
Later versions of the products may contain better calibrations.
Data
====
The RPWS calibrated full resolution data set includes several binary
tables of wave spectra as a function of time from each of the
various receivers of the RPWS, including the LFR, MFR, MFDR, and
HFR. Each table will contain fixed-length records including columns
for time, sensor, and spectral densities for each channel in that
receiver. The HFR can be reconfigured for a wide range of spectral
resolutions and frequency ranges which has the effect of changing
the number of channels, hence, record length. Therefore, for each
day, a different file will be used for different modes of the HFR
which have different numbers of channels, hence, record lengths.
Ancillary Data
==============
Ancillary data included with this data set collection include a
series of files that describe the modes of the RPWS as a function of
time and provide a time- ordered listing of Instrument Expanded
Block (IEB) trigger commands (the mode by which the RPWS is
reconfigured). Also a detailed description of each of the modes (or
IEBs) is provided.
Other data which are ancillary to this data set but which are
archived separately from this collection are the Navigation and
Ancillary Information Facility's SPICE kernels describing the
position and attitude of Cassini and various solar system bodies as
a function of time.
Coordinate System
=================
The data in this data set are measurements of wave electric and
magnetic fields measured by the RPWS electric and magnetic sensors.
These fields are presented as detected by the sensors and are not
rotated into any other coordinate system. If desired the SPICE
kernels can be used with the SPICE toolkit to convert from the
spacecraft frame to virtually any frame which may be of use in
analyzing these data. However, for many purposes, the wave
amplitudes are extremely useful and may be entirely adequate with no
coordinate transformations at all.
Software
========
Sample code is provided with these data which demonstrates how to
read these files in order to build a set of time-ordered wave
spectra. For some uses it may be necessary to convert from the
supplied spectral density units to units of power flux or electric
or magnetic field. Sample code and algorithms are also included to
perform these conversions. The sample code and algorithms are found
in the EXTRAS/SOFTWARE directory.
Media/Format
============
These data are supplied to the Planetary Data System on DVD-R media
using formats and standards of the PDS for such media."
CONFIDENCE_LEVEL_NOTE = "
Confidence Level Overview
=========================
This data set contains all low rate full resolution calibrated data
for the Cassini RPWS instrument for the interval described above.
Every effort has been made to ensure that all data returned to JPL
from the spacecraft is included and that the calibration is
accurate. The middle band of the MFR (Band 2, 180 - 1500 Hz) has
shown a tendency to have an increased noise level by as much as 10
dB at times, although there is no current explanation for this or
known factor which would enable this condition to be predicted.
In some instrument modes data are collected in the high band of
the WFR which can be used to replace the data in MFR Band 2;
these replacement data are referred to as MFDR data.
Review
======
The RPWS full resolution low rate data will be reviewed internally
by the Cassini RPWS team prior to release to the PDS. The data set
will also be peer reviewed by the PDS.
Data Coverage and Quality
=========================
All data in the stated interval are included, to the best of our
knowledge and attempts to determine completeness. In general, the
instrument was operated only briefly during early tour for the
following intervals:
1. Antenna deployment 1997-10-25T00:00 - 1997-10-26T05:30
2. Venus 1 flyby 1998-04-26T12:54 - 1998-05-08T19:21*
3. Instrument Checkout 1998-12-30T09:10 - 1999-01-19T05:40
4. Venus 2 flyby 1999-06-24T09:08 - 1999-06-24T21:20
5. Earth flyby 1999-08-13T17:39 - 1999-09-14T22:20
*Actual interval for science data is much shorter than this.
Beginning in February of 2000 the instrument was operated
more-or-less continuously; two gaps of the order of six weeks were
incurred for the purposes of loading new attitude control and
command and data system flight software, gaps of a few days each
were incurred approximately twice per year because of Huygens Probe
testing, and gaps of several days in duration occurred during solar
conjunction periods prior to 2002. Remaining gaps are due to
spacecraft anomaly resolution or simply to downlink gaps, some of
which were imposed by limitations on DSN station availability.
Limitations
===========
One measurement quality issue is occasional elevated noise levels
(by a few to 10 dB) in the second band of the MFR. During tour, it
is anticipated that data from the Waveform Receiver (WFR) sometimes
referred to as the medium frequency digital receiver (MFDR) can be
substituted for these.
Beginning approximately with Saturn orbit insertion in early July
2005, the RPWS has shown increasing sensitivity in its electric
field measurements below 2 kHz to interference from the spacecraft
reaction wheels. The wheels are a source of electromagnetic
interference in the magnetic channels at frequencies directly
related to the rotation rate of the wheels due to a residual
magnetic moment in the wheels. This level was predicted before
launch and has been basically constant through flight. However, at
the earliest opportunity to observe the interference of the wheels
on the electric field measurements, there was essentially no
detectable level of interference. However, after orbit insertion,
it became clear with increasing time that the wheels were becoming
an increasing source of interference in the electric field
measurements at about 2 kHz and below. As of late 2005, the
amplitude of this interference is of the order of 30 or 40 dB above
the instrument noise level. The relation of the frequency of the
electric interference to the rotation rate of the wheels is less
direct than for the magnetic interference. There is a general
correspondence, but not in detail. It appears that there are some
frequencies more susceptible to the interference than others and
when the wheel speed approaches these 'resonances', the interference
becomes more visible. A working model for this interference
proposes that radiation effects on some part(s) of the spacecraft,
perhaps the thermal blankets, reduce the conductivity. Small
vibrations of this part(s), then, with some residual differential
charging then result in the electric field interference. This model
is not confirmed and the true explanation of the interference is
unknown, but the effects significantly complicate the interpretation
of the electric field spectrum below 2 kHz.
SCET Miscalculation
===================
Version 1 of CORPWS data
2008-12-28 through 2011-06-30
were processed using invalid SPICE spacecraft clock kernels.
Specifically the SCLKs which spice was asked to convert to SCETs
were outside the valid correlation region. The error was subtle at
first but continued to grow as SCLKs further from the correlated
region were converted to SCETs. The net result was that incorrect
SCET values were placed into the product files and product label
files for these dates. The issue has been corrected and no longer
affects any CORPWS datasets available from the PDS. The following
table lists the maximum SCET errors by date.
