Abstract
Measurements of the flux densities of the extended components of seven giant radio galaxies obtained using the RATAN-600 radio telescope at wavelengths of 6.25 and 13 cm are presented. The spectra of components of these radio galaxies are constructed using these new RATAN-600 data together with data from the WENSS, NVSS, and GB6 surveys. The spectral indices in the studied frequency range are calculated, and the need for detailed estimates of the integrated contribution of such objects to the background emission is demonstrated.
