Résumé

Measuring the fluctuating magnetic fields associated to various phenomena such as waves, shocks, and turbulence is essential for the Solar Orbiter mission. These measurements rely on a tri-axial Search Coil Magnetometer (SCM) built at the Laboratoire de Physique et Chimie de l'Environnement et de l'Espace (LPC2E) in Orléans, France. Two antennas of SCM covers the 10Hz-50kHz frequency range, while the third antenna is a dual-band one that covers also the 1kHz-1MHz frequency range. The highest sensitivity is reached respectively at 3kHz and 10kHz for the low and high frequency channels, with a level of 10^-5 nT/sqrt(Hz). The SCM is allocated on the boom of the spacecraft and the LFR, TDS, and HFR analyzers of the RPW experiment will register and process its signal on-board.

Extensive calibrations have been performed at RPW system level with both SCM and the analyzers ; the final calibration procedure depends on temperature, RPW configuration, and takes into account the signal received by all three magnetic antennas simultaneously.
