The most widely adopted model of pulsar radio emission is the hollow cone model, which fits much of the experimental data. The pulsar radio emission in this model is curvature radiation of relativistic particles flowing from the magnetic poles of the neutron star along a cone of open magnetic lines. The curvature radiation is amplified at the plasma frequency, therefore different radio frequencies f originate at different radii r of the emitting regions.
