Open Loop Data ============== Data Collection --------------- We have completed quick-look processing on the following MEX RSR open loop data at Stanford: DOY DSS RSR BAND RSR CH KSPS BT REC RECS RSR MAX START STOP ID RS LEN FILE NAME SNR --- --- -------- -------- ---- --- -- ---- -- ----- ----- ------------ ----- 366 63 08:38:01 08:58:00 X/XR 4 1 2 16 8260 1200 4366083A.RSR 10.7 366 63 08:38:01 08:58:00 X/SR 3 1 2 16 8260 1200 4366083B.RSR -1.2 001 63 11:34:00 11:54:00 X/XR 4 1 2 16 8260 1201 5001113A.RSR 56.2 001 63 11:34:00 11:54:00 X/SR 3 1 2 16 8260 1201 5001113B.RSR 42.6 001 15 18:18:00 18:38:00 X/XR 4 1 2 16 8260 1201 5001181A.RSR 49.4 001 15 18:18:00 18:38:00 X/SR 3 1 2 16 8260 1201 5001181B.RSR 34.7 003 65 10:43:00 11:03:00 X/XR 4 1 2 16 8260 1201 5003104A.RSR 49.5 003 65 10:43:01 11:03:00 X/SR 3 1 2 16 8260 1200 5003104B.RSR 33.5 The data from 2005/001 and 2005/003 are of good quality and should yield good profiles after analysis. Anomalies --------- There is no usable signal in the data from 2004/366. A weak X-band signal lurks on the lower edge of the 2 kHz passband, but never moves closer to the center than about 80 Hz. It disappears at about the time an occultation would be expected. There is no signal at all in the S-band data. It appears that the tuning for both receivers was in error; exactly what went wrong is not clear. The X-band carrier in the other observations is accompanied by spurs at frequencies suggesting weak modulation by power line harmonics. These are common at SNR near 50 dB/Hz and higher; the spurs on 2005/001 at DSS 63 (when the signal was strongest) are the most pronounced. The presence of one additional record in the X-band data from 2005/003 as compared with S-band in the same observation may complicate downstream merging of the resulting files.
