A simple impulsive event observed at microwave frequencies between 3.2 and 50 GHz is simulated with a homogeneous source model. Intensity and polarization of the 1984 April 26 event are shown in fig. 1a and 1b, respectively. The spectral maximum is close to the observing frequency of 11.8 GHz.

The time profiles of the intensity I and the circular polarization ρc at this frequency as well as the spectrum at different characteristic phases (rise, maximum and decay) are calculated and compared with the observation in order to deduce parameters of the microwave source.
