The interest in monitoring the plasma environment is twofold: a scientific objective to deepen our understanding of the Earth's environment and a technological one to understand secondary effects on the satellites and other instruments. The suggested compact Plasma Analyzer for the measurement of modulations in ionospheric plasma is envisaged to equip instrumentation on satellites in low Earth orbit. One of the most challenging aspects to obtain an instrument with compact size is the development of a single sensor capable of measuring either ion energy in the Retarding Potential Analyzer mode (RPA mode) or direction in the Ion Drift Meter mode (IDM mode) through different operating modes. This technical report aims to outline the sensor features and the test to validate its design.ELETTRONICOenTechnical report
