After reviewing briefly the present state of
knowledge about chorus-like emissions, we present an overview of Magion 5
satellite observations of these emissions in the inner magnetosphere of the
Earth. From the extensive VLF data recorded on board the Magion 5 satellite, we
show examples of different types of discrete elements, representing rising and
falling tones, and discuss their spectral properties, such as the bandwidth and
the characteristic frequency as compared to the equatorial electron
gyrofrequency. We analyse the possibility of satellite observation of discrete
elements, assuming nonducted wave propagation from the source. As for the
characteristic dimension of the generation region, we apply the figures
obtained from the recently published correlation analysis of chorus emission
recorded by four satellites in the Cluster experiment. We conclude that
different frequencies in the chorus element should be emitted in a certain span
of wave normal angles, so that the whole element could be observed far from the
generation region.
