Abstract: 
We examined the dynamic characteristics of the time series regarding a group of pulsations in broadband spectrum at metric waveband solar radio emission. The data were recorded with the radio polarimeter of the INAF-Trieste Astronomical Observatory at July 17, 2002. The aim is to determine if the underlying process of these pulsations can be describe as a periodic, deterministic chaos or stochastic. The pulsations under inquiry in present paper are rather rare, as we found only one example of similar ones reported in the literature. Unlike most of the previously works where the analyses was done to a broadband pulsating events at one single frequency, we examine the pulsation event as it evolves both in time and in frequency. We found that the dynamics underlying the generation of pulsations can be characterized by a deterministic chaotic process which increases the dimension of chaos with frequency showing a transition from low-dimensional to high-dimensional deterministic chaotic system. © 2015, Springer Science+Business Media Dordrecht.
