The article attempts to analyze and compare the temperature of solar radio burst at the (i) feed point and antenna and (ii) at the receiver (CALLISTO spectrometer). The analysis is very important to evaluate the performance for a better observation of solar radio burst. We start our project by developing this antenna with 19 elements of different sizes covers from 45 − 870 MHz. We choose the National Space Agency (PAN), Sg. Lang, Banting, Selangor, Malaysia as our site seems this site has a

Based on the results, it was found that the temperature of the at the feed point of the antenna and receiver is different up to 3.25 K. The average level burst level above background sky is about 0.41dB. It was found that the power of solar burst at the feed point of the antenna is equivalent to 2.6 x 10-18 W, but decreases to 2.3 x 10-18 W when detected by the CALLISTO spectrometer. These results show a better understanding of how does the system operate in terms of the process of analysis of the temperature of solar radio burst.
