Duration of Transients in Solar Radio Noise

Abstract

SINCE February this year, high-speed records have been obtained at a frequency of 200 Mc./sec. during solar radio noise storms. The equipment used for the registrations consists of a receiver with bandwidth of 0.3 Mc./sec. and time constant 0.01 sec. and a Brush recorder. Records were secured at various paper speeds, with a speed of 25 mm./sec. as that mostly used, since this speed seems to give the best compromise between the competing factors resolving power, amount of information and paper consumption.
