Abstract
Using the 2.6–3.8 GHz solar radio spectrometer of the National Astronomical Observatories of China (NAOC), a pair of microwave millisecond spike (MMS) emissions were observed, and their frequency drift rate was measured. The separatrix frequency of the MMS pair was at 2900 MHz. Its emission layer was about 2×104km above the photosphere. The polarization degree was wave-like variation with an average value of about 25% in LCP. An MMS pair differs greatly from the type III bursts pair. For the latter, in a certain frequency range, there is no emission around separatrix frequency. This phenomenon may help better understand the mechanism of MMS.
