Description

TRACERS 1 Electric Field Instrument (EFI) high frequency (EHF) time-series and spectra data sampled by the EFI x-antenna, which is along the x-axis in the TRACERS Spacecraft Coordinates System (TSCS). The data are derived from 16384-sample snapshots, collected at a sampling rate of 1 sample per 50 nano-s. In the Region of Interest (ROI), the snapshots are collected once every 16 s; in the BackOrbit (BOR) the snapshots are collected every 2048 s (BAC). Each spectrum consists of 4097 linear frequency bins from 0 to 10 MHz.

Description

Electric field measurements with a sampling rate for EDC of 128 samples/s (ROI), 8 samples/s (BOR), EAC 2048 samples/s (ROI), electric field high frequency (EHF) 20e6 samples/s (ROI). For EAC and EHF the sampling rate is the same as the ROI, but the cadence is 16 s and 2048 s respectively.
