Frequency Bands

BandRangeSource
Low-freq Turbulence 10 – 100 Hz Alfvén / ion-cyclotron waves
Plasma Frequency 1 – 5 kHz Langmuir / electron plasma oscillations
Upper Hybrid 10 – 50 kHz Upper hybrid resonance
PWS Instrument:
The Plasma Wave Subsystem measures electric field fluctuations from 10 Hz to 56.2 kHz using a 10-m dipole antenna. It detects Langmuir waves, whistler-mode emissions, and electron plasma oscillations critical for probing the interstellar medium.
