Fig.3 On the upper picture an example of one-dimensional  multiwave solar scan with knife diagram pattern at wavelength 3.21 cm is presented. Intensity scan I=I(L)+I(R) in red line, and circular polarization scan V=I(L)-I(R) in blue line are shown. The estimation of magnetic field on the base of cyclotron mechanism for each big source are written nearly (according method in Akhmedov et al., 1982). Below the multiwave scans in the range from 1.8 cm to 17.1 cm in Intensity (left) and circular polarization (right) are presented. The regular RATAN-600 data one can find at www.ratan.sao.ru\~sun

High dynamic range

Fig.8   An example of polarization microburst emission at several  decimeter waves, which manifestates the energy release processes in a cusp of active region. High temporal resolution needs for adequate study of such structure.

Fig. 9  An example of decimeter microburst emission after the flare  X1.7 at 10h 15m UT in AR 9393     with 8 minute cadence. The microbursts were appeared 1.5 hour before and disappeared 0.5 hours after the flare
