Automated PC-based Control and Monitoring of Radio Observations Using LPDA

Automated PC-based control Log Periodic Dipole Antenna (LPDA) performance of solar burst monitoring in the range of 50-300 MHz is presented. The paper describes signal detection by LPDA designed for solar monitoring with very high- performance. Low–frequency solar radio emission arises in the solar atmosphere at the levels where events like solar bursts have been identified. The different type of radio burst are described and illustrated using data received at Kalyani and their potential use as diagnostics of Space Weather is discussed.
