The experiment consists of a sounder that can be in passive mode to measure (via passive analysis) the natural wave emissions in high-frequency range, (4-80 kHz) or in active mode (emission of short pulses of sine wave during 1 millisecond and listening to the electric field signal transmitted to the other antennas) to identify the plasma resonances and then the total electron density. 1, record 1, English, - WHISPER%20experiment
