A description is given of a new back-end processor for the λ 8-cm radioheliograph at Toyokawa. By the introduction of this system, the λ 8-cm radioheliograph is changed from the swept-lobe type to the multi-correlator type. Two-dimensional and one-dimensional solar radio images are displayed on a graphic terminal in real time at the rate of 10 s/image. On the other hand, correlation data, that is spatial frequency components of these images, are stored on a data storage sytem at the rate of 0.1 s/image for off-line analysis. Comparing the images obtained by using the new back-end and the original swept-lobe typ back-end, it is confirmed that in two-dimensional observations the improvement greater than 1000 times in the time resolution is achieved without sacrificing the sensitivity.
