This overview examines the current observational data regarding the planetary radio emissions of the earth, Jupiter, Saturn, Uranus, and Neptune and examines the fundamental characteristics of the planets. Auroral radio emissions are studied in terms of their relation to important magnetospheric regions with attention given to their observational limitations. The primary observationally deduced characteristics of planetary radio emissions are listed including rotation period, radio components, spectrum, source location and modulations, polarization and emission mode, and brightness temperature. A common generation mechanism is assumed to operate efficiently in the five planetary environments because important similarities are noted in the characteristics of the auroral emissions. A basic understanding of this mechanism is described which permits the derivation of a refined magnetic field model and magnetic field characterizations of Saturn.
