Abstract :
The study of SEDs with high time resolution was made possible due to the regular modernization of the receiving equipment on the largest decameter radio telescope UTR-2. The obtained sensitivity allowed to resolve the microstructure of lightning discharges for the first time and to estimate the intensity of bursts. In addition the dispersion delay gives us a very important criterion that let reliably separate terrestrial lightning and cosmic ones.
