Description:
Instrumentation, data processing and preliminary results of EXOS-B VLF wave receiver are presented. The VLF receiver is connected, by command, either to a long dipole antenna or to a loop antenna, and observes both electromagnetic and electrostatic waves in a frequency range between 150 Hz and 9.5 kHz. Up to the present time after the launch, various VLF phenomena including whistler echo trains, whistler triggered emissions, hiss, chorus, and possible power line harmonic radiation have been observed. In addition to these natural phenomena, artificial VLF waves excited by electron beam injection have also been observed. © 1981, Society of Geomagnetism and Earth, Planetary and Space Sciences.
