Abstract
Aims. The wide-band dynamic spectra of Jovian decameter emission obtained over the last
decade with high-frequency and high time resolution equipment on
the largest decameter band antenna array, the Ukrainian T-shape Radio telescope (UTR-2), are presented.
Methods. We analyzed the data obtained with the Digital SpectroPolarimiter (DSP) and WaveForm Reciever (WFR) installed at
UTR-2. The combination of the large antenna and high performance equipment
gives the best sensitivity and widest band of analysis, dynamic range, time and frequency resolutions.
The wavelet transform method and the Fourier technique was used for further data processing.
Results. The main characteristics of already known and newly detected modulation events were investigated and specified.
The new receiving-recording facilities, methodology and program of observations are described in detail.
