Summary
Solar microwave spike bursts are assumed to be generated and amplified by particles whose distribution in velocity space displays an anisotropy. The escaping radiation is taken to be in the extraordinary mode (X-mode). The Green function for the X-mode is deduced. The electric field, the angular distribution and the frequency spectrum of the radiation are derived from the Green function. These derived quantities seem to meet the requirements of the maser process which is believed to be the generation mechanism of the X-mode microwave spikes.
