Abstract Relaxation sounders proved to work very well in dilute plasmas far from the Earth. They provide a very powerful diagnostic tool. In the solar wind and magnetosheath, they give a sure and precise measurement of the electron density. In the magnetosphere, where detailed measurements on the fQ resonances are possible, they provide, in addition, a determination of the electron temperature and drift velocity. Moreover, the possibility of oblique echoes in this region gives the perspective of obtaining even more information on the medium by detailed interpretation of the signals.
