To compute the Doppler effect on the voltage power spectrum seen by the antenna,
we have to substitute in (1)
the electric field with
, where
is the relative
velocity of the antenna with respect to the ambient plasma.
Since is roughly perpendicular to
and
the angle between the spin plane of the antenna and the plane defined by
remains small (
), we may write
.
The solution
of the dispersion equation in the presence of the relative
velocity will thus be modified from the nonshifted solution
, as
with
,
which reads
where we have set .
Now if we replace
in (1) with
, we obtain a
Doppler-corrected antenna response function:
We may remark that is an even function of
with
, so that
.
However, this factor
could take values close to 1, especially near the gyroharmonics where
, and so
we have numerically studied the variation of the function
with the variations of the plasma parameters involved in (A2).
During the IPT crossing, at a Jovicentric distance of about 8 ,
V is nearly the corotation velocity
[Stone et al., 1992b], which increases with the Jovicentric
distance
from
to
km/s and the temperature
from
near the torus equator to
at
highest latitudes. These variations lead to a parameter a such that
0.05<a<0.1, and the derivative
can be computed using (B3). This
derivative depends on the gyroradius, that is, on both the temperature and
the gyrofrequency
which decreases with
from
to
kHz. All these variations cannot be easily summarized and have to
be computed for each spectrum. The result is that the difference between the
Doppler-affected modulation
and
the modulation given by (2)
does not exceed in any cases
for
We show in Figure A1 a typical sample of the antenna response
with Doppler
effect computed from (A2), with a= 0.06 and
.
