The instrument utilizes an on-board processing hardware for calculating autocorrelation functions of particle flux measured by any type of particle detector which output a series of pulses. Two rocket observations by using the instrument were carried out as a part of low energy auroral electron experiments on board the S-310JA-11 and -12 rockets which were launched into the Antarctic auroral ionosphere. The instrument is capable of measuring the flux modulations in three frequency ranges, i. e. 1.5-100Hz, 0.1-8kHz and 0.1-4MHz, respectively. Results from one rocket experiment launched under relatively quiet conditions indicate that the auroral electrons are almost uniform in the high frequency range. Results from another rocket experiment (JA-12) conducted under highly active aurora conditions show low frequency modulations of electron flux associated with a strong electron precipitation.}, pages = {37--45}, title = {Rocket observations of modulations of the low energy electron flux in the auroral ionosphere}, volume = {1}, year = {1988} }
