Due to the occlusion of the moon, an annular solar eclipse will have an effect on the ionosphere above the earth. The change of the ionosphere, for the low-frequency time-code signal that relies on it as a reflection medium for long-distance propagation, the signal field strength, and other parameters will also produce corresponding changes, which will affect the normal operation of the low-frequency time-code time service system. This paper selects the solar eclipse that occurred in China on 21 June 2020, and uses the existing measurement equipment to carry out experimental research on the low-frequency time-code signal. We measured and analyzed the signal field strength from 20 June 2020 to 23 June 2020, and combined solar activity data, ionospheric data, and geomagnetic data, and attempted to explore the reasons and rules of the change of signal parameters. The results showed that the field strength of the low-frequency time-code signal changed dramatically within a short time period, the max growth value can reach up to 17 dBμV/m and the variation trend yielded ‘three mutations’. This change in signal field strength is probably due to the occurrence of a solar eclipse that has an effect on the ionosphere. When the signal propagation conditions change, the signal strength will also change accordingly.

One of the main reasons to study more about the dynamics of solar radio bursts is because solar these bursts can interfere with the Global Positioning System (GPS) and communications systems. More importantly, these bursts are a key to understand the space weather condition. Recent work on the interpretation of the low frequency region of a main solar burst is discussed. Continuum radio bursts are often related to the solar activities such as an indication of the formation of sunspot, impulsive phase of solar flares and Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs) and their frequencies correspond to the densities supposed to exist in the primary energy release volume. Specifically, solar burst in low frequency play an important role in interpretation of Sun activities. In this work, we have selected few solar bursts that successfully detected by our station at the National Space Centre, Banting Selangor. Our objective is to correlate the solar burst with Sun activities by looking at the main sources that responsibility with the trigger of solar burst. It is found that type II burst is dominant with Coronal Mass Ejections (CMEs), type III burst associated with solar flare, IV burst with the formation of active region and type U burst high solar flare. We believed that this work is a good start to monitor Sun’s activities in Malaysia as equatorial country.

Sudden ionospheric disturbances are transient changes in the ionosphere caused by enhancement in X-ray and EUV fluxes during solar flare events. The Solar Storm Radio Telescope is developed to detect Very Low Frequency (VLF) signals with frequency between 3-30 kHz transmitted from various VLF stations around the Globe. We will also be investigating different methods to reduce the background noise in the data collection. This will help to ensure an accurate hit when there is a sudden ionospheric disturbance.

An extreme 2012 October 23 solar flare event marked on the onset of the CALLISTO data, being one of the highest solar flare event that successfully detected. The formation of harmonic solar burst type II in meter region and their associated with X1.8-class solar flares has been reported. This burst has been observed at the National Space Centre, Banting, detected by the Compound Astronomical Low-cost Low-frequency Instrument for Spectroscopy and Transportable Observatory (CALLISTO) system in the range of 150-400 MHz in the low frequency band. It occurred between 3.17:45 UT to 3.19:00 UT within 1 minute 15 seconds. The Compound Astronomical Low-cost Low-frequency Instrument for Spectroscopy and Transportable Observatory CALLISTO spectrometer is a solar dedicated spectrometer system that has been installed all over the world to monitor the Sun activity in 24 hours. The growth of this burst is often accompanied by abundance enhancement of particles which may take the form of multiple independent drifting bands or other forms of fine structure. Due to the results, the drift rate of this burst is 2.116 MHz s–1, which is considered as a slow drift rate. These drifting bands are approximately having a frequency ratio 2:1. This burst is a particular interest, though of sporadic and infrequent occurrence. The splitting is due to the effect of magnetic splitting, analogous to the Zeeman Effect. This is one of the examples which the type II burst is not always associated with CMEs event. The combination of radio and x-ray region give a complete view of the solar flare eruption from e active region AR1598. Both different electromagnetic spectrum shows the exact time. Other interesting results is that this type II burst is not associated with CMEs as usual, but due to the very high solar flare event with a fundamental form at more than 100 MHz. An extension of the present work will be a detailed study of the possible triggering and the driving mechanism of solar flare explosion.

Measurements of the amplitude and phase of very low frequency transmitter signals were used to evaluate the effects on the ionosphere of a moderate intensity solar flare that occurred on 13 December 2007. These measurements were compared to modelled results from the Long Wave Propagation Capability code. The ionospheric effects were found to be delayed by ~1 min with respect to the 0.1–0.8 nm solar X-ray flux.
