Abstract

Solar radio astronomy has grown into an extensive scientific branch since its birth in the forties of the twentieth century, initiated by the subsequent discovery of the main basic components of solar radio emission: the quiet Sun, the slowly varying component and various types of radio bursts including noise storms (Krüger 1979). It was quickly revealed that radio bursts are observed during chromospheric flares.
