Abstract
We have investigated the statistics of signals obtained with high time resolution at 1400 MHz and at 102.5 MHz from the pulsar PSR 1133+16 a t pulse longitudes corresponding to both components of the average pul se profile. Observations were not simultaneous at both frequencies. We have determined the probability for the presence of microstructure an d for the presence of quasi-periodicities for the two observing freque ncies. Probability of microstructure appearance has been determined to be the cause of decrease of the average microstructure component at h igh frequencies. We show that the distribution of characteristic times of microstructure is substantially different for pulse components I a nd II of the average pulse profile at 1400 MHz, although the probabili ty for the presence of microstructure and for the presence of quasi-pe riodicities is independent of the longitude of the pulse component. Th e average characteristic time of microstructure is the same at both pu lse component longitudes at both frequencies. The observations are int erpreted in terms of pulsar emission models.
