As a first example of extensive model calculations, radio emission features are presented which were calculated for the solar active region McMath 12417 on July 4, 1973, using force-free extrapolated magnetic fields with constant alpha. The magnetic field data were derived from magnetographic measurements, and height distributions of temperature and electron density from a semi-empirical sunspot model by Staude (1981) based on recent X-, EUV-, and optical data. In contrast to the rather simple magnetic field structure, a complex structure of the S-component source at a test wavelength of 6 cm is obtained, exhibiting a dip of brightness temperature above the sunspot center, a weakly polarized pseudo-loop structure at maximum intensity surrounding the center, and a ring of high circular polarization at the outer edge of the source.
