Abstract
Theoretical radiation patterns of Uranian kilometric radiation, consisting of a planet-wide hollow emission cone whose axis of symmetry is along the dipole axis, have been constructed for several frequencies. A comparison of model results with planetary radio astronomy data shows that the pulse profile is influenced by the geometry of the spacecraft relative to the magnetic field. The introduction of a small longitudinal variation of the emitting L-shell is found to eliminate the 10-deg phase discrepancy noted between theory and observations.
