Bipolar electrostatic structures are commonly observed in planetary magnetospheric environments but also in the solar wind. They may play a crucial role in transporting energy over long distances. In an earlier work, Mangeney et al. (1998) and Lacombe et al. (2002) have shown, in the solar wind, the presence of a small potential drop across the structures. This work was based on in-situ measurements obtained by the WAVES radio instrument of the WIND mission. The STEREO/WAVES instruments provide us with new in-situ measurements of bipolar electrostatic structures. We will present a comparative study of the observations from the three instruments. A model based on Vlasov-Ampere simulations will be proposed to explain the differences between the measurements of the two instruments.
