The Plasma Wave Spectrometer onboard the AMPTE (Active Magnetospheric Particle Tracer Explorers) IRM spacecraft used a 42 m tip-to-tip antenna to measure electric fields from dc to 5 MHz and two boom-mounted search coil magnetometers to measure magnetic fields from 30 Hz to 1 MHz. The signals were analyzed by a VLF/MF 16-channel spectrum analyzer, three VLF narrow-band, swept-frequency receivers, a 60-channel HF stepped-frequency receiver, and an analog wide band receiver. For more details, see B. Hausler, et al., IEEE Transaction on Geoscience and Remote Sensing, Vol. GE-23, p 267, 1985.
