Abstract

The Waves instrument aboard Juno is a sophisticated radio astronomy observatory investigating Jupiter's auroral radio emissions and plasma wave interactions. Waves records electric field properties using two monopole antennas, which are connected to form a dipole. The receiving properties of the Waves dipole changes quite remarkably over the instrument's frequency range from near DC to 40 MHz. In this contribution we outline Waves' electrical sensor properties above the quasi-static frequency range and provide detailed directivity pattern and insertion loss figures of the instrument for science application and data analysis.
