Different models of coronal streamers are used to calculate the radio
brightness temperature at the wavelengths of observation of the Nancay
s Radioheliograph. Calculation are performed assuming the location of
the streamer both on the disk and at the limb. Their comparison with o
bservations show that a satisfactory agreement with a particular model
can be found in the shape and in the relative enhancement of the stre
amer with respect to the quiet Sun, although the absolute values of th
e computed brightness temperatures are much higher than the observed o
nes.
