Abstract
In this paper, we describe pulsar observations at decametric wavelengt hs using the Gauribidanur Radio Telescope made subsequent to our earli er measurements (Deshpande & Radhakrishnan 1992). To improve the time- resolution in our measurements of pulse profiles, we have used the 'sw ept-frequency dedispersion' method with some modifications to suit its application at such low radio frequencies. We also present a new sche me that simplifies the calibration of the receiver gain characteristic s. We present average profiles on four pulsars from these improved mea surements at 34.5 MHz.
