Scientific paper

Three planets, the earth, Jupiter and Saturn are known to emit non-thermal radio waves which require coherent radiation processes. The characteristic features (frequency spectrum, polarization, occurrence probability, radiation pattern) are discussed. The author distinguishes between radiation which is externally controlled by the solar wind and internally controlled radiation which only originates from Jupiter. The efficiency of the externally controlled radiation is roughly the same at all three planets (5×10-6) suggesting that similar processes are active there. The author discusses briefly the maser radiation mechanism for the generation of the radio waves and general requirements for the mechanism which couples the power generator to the region where the radio waves are generated.
