The Radio Science Subsystem (RSS) Calibrated Data Record (SRF) data products are power spectra for the right-circular polarization (RCP) and left-circular polarization (LCP) channels which were used to “equalize” (flatten) the spectral response of the filters in the receiving system. Each file is a 1024-point power spectrum computed from 227 seconds of noise data. Since the filtering is entirely digital, there is no reason to believe that the RCP and LCP noise power spectra would differ; but separate SRF files have been derived for the two channels. Standard deviation of individual frequency bins is about 1.3 percent of the mean.

The RCP file is named 4156314B.SRF.

The LCP file is named 4156314D.SRF.

Both RSS SRF files have attached PDS labels.

In ODE, the SRF files have the following product IDs:
