Abstract
- A technique for analyzing the polarization properties of plane waves is developed which offers a number of advantages over methods currently used in the analysis of both ground and satellite observations of waves. This technique reduces the computations required to find the wave normal vector, is less sensitive to common noise sources, and is amenable to analog implementation. This technique is applied specifically to the analysis of a proton whistler, but may also be used in most studies of ULF, ELF, and VLF magnetic wave phenomena.
