Abstract
A major solar radio burst can disturb many kinds of radio instruments, including cellular phone, GPS, and radar. Korea Astronomy and Space Science Institute (KASI) is developing Korean Solar Radio Burst Locator (KSRBL) in collaboration with New Jersey Institute of Technology. KSRBL is a single dish radio spectrograph, which records the spectra of microwave (0.5 - 18 GHz) bursts with 1 MHz spectral resolution and 1 s time cadence, and locates their positions on the solar disk within 2 arcmin. Hardware manufacturing is almost completed including 4-channel digitizer/FPGA. The system is currently installed at Owens Valley Radio Observatory (OVRO), and test of the operation is in progress. It will be installed at KASI in 2009. We report current status and test results of KSRBL.
