Radio and Plasma Waves instrument on-board of ESA spacecraft Solar Orbiter

RPW instrument consists in a sophisticated plasma/radio wave receiver system connected to high sensitivity
electric and magnetic sensors.

The receiver system covers a very wide frequency range
(quasi-DC to 20 MHz for electric, and 0.1 Hz to 1 MHz for magnetic) thanks to several analysers and sensors :

  • Low Frequency Receiver (LFR)
  • Time Domain Sampler (TDS)
  • Thermal-Noise Receiver & High Frequency Receiver (TNR-HFR)
  • BIAS subsystem
  • Antennas
  • Search-Coil Magnetometer
