We analyze high-resolution, one-dimensional observations of simple microwave bursts, obtained at 4.9 GHz with the Westerbork Synthesis Radio Telescope in 1980, together with Hα photographs of the associated flares from the Observatories of Athens and Meudon. In most cases the polarization structure can be interpreted in terms of extraordinary mode emission, taking into account the polarity of the underlying magnetic field and propagation effects, which may lead to inversion of the sense of polarization in the limbward part of the flaring loop. We found evidence for ordinary mode emission in two classes of events. In one class theo-mode comes from regions overlying strong magnetic field, which we interpret in terms of thermal gyroresonance absorption of the extraordinary mode at the third harmonic of the gyrofrequency. In the other class the entire burst emits in theo-mode, which may be attributed to high gyrosynchrotron optical depth.
