Algol-type binaries are basically known to undergo hydrodynamic processes related to mass exchange between components. Recent observations on radio, X-ray emission and flare-like events have raised the question of possible magnetic activity in the secondary component of these systems (Hall, 1989).

From a microwave emission survey we have shown that the radio emission from Algol systems cannot be accounted for by thermal emission from an hot corona (T ≥ 107K) and that their radio luminosities compare very well with those of the magnetically active RS CVn systems (Umana et al., 1990).
