ULF instrument
The ULF instrument for measuring electric and magnetic fields
in the ULF frequency range is designed for collecting and processing
information on 3 components of magnetic field and one component of
electric field. The instrument provides the analog and digital
processing of the magnetic and electric field signals through the
telemetry system (STS).
Three-component magnetic sensor is a component of the
instrument KEM (Czech Republic).
Main characteristics of the instrument:
- dynamical range: -76dB - +30dB (106 dB)
- number of analyzed components: 4.
Operational modes:
- 1. Transmission of all 4 components with the rate of 20 kbits/s or
40 kbit/s with the digitizer frequency of 280 Hz.
- 2. Transmission of one selected component for the telemetry rates 5
or 1.25 kbit/s with the digitizer frequency 70 Hz.
