Solar microwave burst observations with high time resolution (~ 1 ms) are important but difficult to make. It is shown by the experiments of radiometer at wavelength 21 cm on 1 ms time scale that some ultrafast time structures in microwaves, which includes spike impulses, switch-on and switch-off structures, etc., may not be from solar emission but from RFI (radio-frequency interference) or from radiometer itself. Because of the uncertainty at 21 cm and other several wavelengths, we suggest that joint observations of the solar microwave bursts on 1 ms time scale should be carried out on the peak years of the 22nd solar activity cycle.
