1.1.0 CDPP:IR:WINDTNR Wind Waves Thermal Noise Receiver 2006-09-01T00:00:00 The Thermal Noise Receiver (TNR) on the WIND spacecraft is an instrument of a new generation, which is flown for the first time. It utilizes a digital spectrum analysis technique similar to a wavelet transform analysis. This permits a high time resolution, associated to a high frequency resolution. It was essentially designed to measure the thermal noise at a high rate. The interest of this receiver also covers other events, both in situ (plasma waves, ion acoustic waves) and remotely detected (solar and magnetospheric radio bursts). However, this receiver uses a compression technique which limits the study of high intensity events. Namely, the digital dynamic range is about 45 dB, added to an AGC range of more than 60 dB, the AGC acting as a sensitivity adjustment. (e.g. an 80 dB event will not saturate the receiver, but the computed spectrum will only cover its upper 45 dB.)
