Self-absorption of synchrotron radiation in compact radio sources gives rise to a low-frequency cutoff in their spectra. To study this effect it is necessary to observe the radio sources at meter wavelengths with angular resolution < 1″. Such observations of compact radio sources located in active galactic nuclei lead to estimates of magnetic field strengths and relativistic electron number densities in the AGNs.
