ISIS 1 Topside Sounder Ionograms

Listed in NASA Data Portal

These ionograms were digitized from the original ISIS-1 7-track analog telemetry tapes using the facilities of the former Data Evaluation Laboratory at the NASA/GSFC.

Description

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.
