Description
Radio JOVE Multiple Frequency Data Product. This data set consists of observations made at the Middle Tennessee State University (MTSU) using a Terminated Folded Dipole and an FSX-6S 12 bit switching dual polarization spectrograph. These data are generated using the Radio Sky Spectrograph software. The data set consists of two channels of data. Channel 1 is Right Circular Polarization and Channel 2 is Left Circular Polarization.
These data may include observations of Solar Radio Bursts, Jupiter decametric radio emission, or Galactic Background radio emission.
The Radio-Sky Spectrograph produced datafiles consist of a fixed length header and a variable length note. The data portion of the file for two channel data consists of an 8 byte timestamp using the VisualBasic 6 date format (days since 1 Jan 1900) followed by two 8 byte data values (Channel 1 followed by Channel 2), this pattern repeats until the end of file. More details can be found in the Data File Structure document on the Radio-SkyPipe help page (see Information URL).
These data are submitted to the RadioJOVE Archive and to the PDS/PPI archive at UCLA.
