This data restoration project is headed by Dr. R.F. Benson (NASA/GSFC). Ionograms were digitized at the rate of 40,000 16-bit samples/sec. This sample rate is higher than the Nyquist frequency of 30 kHz. The sample frequency of 40 kHz provides a measurement every 25 microseconds corresponding to an apparent range (c*t/2) interval of 3.75 km. Each ionogram consists of a fixed-frequency and and a swept-frequency portion. The time resolution between ionograms is typically 29 seconds.", "Acknowledgement": "Users please acknowledge the Coordinated Data Analysis Web (CDAWeb) at the NASA Goddard Space Flight Center, ISIS-1 SFS instrument Principal Investigator J.

This range corresponds to a linear sounder-receiver video amplitude output range from zero to 4.5 V. This calibration is based on the video calibration pulse (of 3.0 V or 170 telemetry units) at the end of the line scan following each sounder pulse (the combined calibration pulses from all of the line scans produces a colored stripe at the bottom of the digital ionograms). In order to derive an input power level corresponding to the receiver video output it is necessary to know the sounder-receiver automatic-gain-control (AGC) voltage. This voltage was obtained from the pcm data and thus is only available if pcm data were available. The AGC voltage, which ranges from 0 to 5.12 volts, is obtained from a linear interpolation between the AGC trace displayed between 4005 km apparent range (26.7 ms delay time) as 5.12 V and 4395 km (29.3 ms delay time) as 0 volts.

On the average ionograms, which are available as either CDF or binary files from the SPDF or the NSSDC, the range resolution is 0.1 ms (corresponding to a virtual-range resolution of 15 km) there are 27 rows (26 intervals) covering the 0 to 5.12 V range; thus each row in virtual range above (decreasing delay time) the zero level (at 29.3 ms delay time) corresponds to an increase of 5.12/26 V of AGC with a quantization uncertainty of approximately plus or minus 0.1 V. Two rows have zero video-output amplitude values (on the average ionograms) in order that a clear AGC trace is visible on the ionograms. The row with the greatest virtual range corresponds to the actual AGC value. (On the full ionograms, which are only available as binary files from the NSSDC, the range resolution is 0.025 ms, corresponding to a virtual-range resolution of 3.75 km, and three rows have zero video-output amplitude values; the middle row corresponds to the actual AGC value.)", "Structure": { "Size": "335" }, "ValidMin": "0", "ValidMax": "255", "Wave": { "WaveType": "PlasmaWaves", "Qualifier": [ "Magnitude", "Pseudo" ], "WaveQuantity": "Intensity", "FrequencyRange": { "SpectralRange": "RadioFrequency", "Low": "0.1", "High": "20", "Units": "MHz" } } }, { "Name": "scan-line frequency", "ParameterKey": "freq", "Description": "frequency of each scan line; in the swept-frequency portion of the ionogram they correspond to interpolated values between the frequency markers", "Units": "MHz", "ValidMin": "0.1", "ValidMax": "20.0", "Support": { "SupportQuantity": "Other" } }, { "Name": "Electron Gyrofrequency", "ParameterKey": "FH", "Description": "Electron Gyrofrequency at time of ionogram frame sync", "Units": "MHz", "Support": { "SupportQuantity": "Other" } } ] } } }
