Abstract

The contribution of an extent component of source radio emission is estimated for quasars and galaxies. The consideration of source radio structures at kiloparsec scales is used at the decameter and the higher frequency bands. The determination of the contribution of an extent component to source radio emission as well as main physical parameters of sample sources is carried out. We found that especially extent sources, giant radio galaxies, have smaller luminosity of core region, weaker magnetic field and greater characteristic age in comparison with compact radio galaxies and quasars. As it follows from our examination, the extent component contribution to source emission may be the indicator of the radio source age.
