Intro

    The hf campaign ran 31oct16 thru  07nov16. it used the 5 Mhz and 8 MHz system. The 430 Mhz transmitter was used as a diagnostic (in single and dual beam modes).

HF synthesizer drive values (top)

    The hf synthesizers generate the amplitude an phase to drive each of the 6 hf transmitters.

Logs of hf synth values


Binary files (top)

    Binary files are made (upon request) of the hf transmitter power as well as the az,za positions during an experiment.

file formats:
