Scientific paper

An estimation is derived of the opening angle of the Planetary Radio Astronomy (PRA) low-frequency and antenna model from a set of four Voyager 1 and 2 pre- and postencounter Saturn kilometric radiation (SKR) observations. The effect of the opening angle on the polarization response of the PRA instrument is discussed. The relevant characteristics of SKR used to derive the opening angle are described. The influence of the intensity level of the observed radiation on the degree of circular polarization estimates is examined.
