These Ionograms were digitized from the original ISIS-2 7-Track Analog Telemetry Tapes using the Facilities of the former Data Evaluation Laboratory at the NASA/GSFC. 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/s. This Sample Rate is higher than the Nyquist Frequency of 30 kHz. The Sample Frequency of 40 kHz provides a Measurement every 25 µs corresponding to an Apparent Range Interval equal to 3.75 km from c*t/2, where c is the Speed of Light. Ionograms with this Sample Rate are designated as 'Full' Ionograms because they have the full 3.75 km Apparent-Range Resolution. The Ionograms used for most Analyses, and those available from CDAWeb, were produced by averaging every four Samples of the Sounder-Receiver Video Amplitude Output to yield an average Value every 100 µs corresponding to an Apparent-Range Resolution of 15 km. These Ionogram Files are referred to as ...
