Radio observations play a crucial role in advancing our understanding of solar phenomena as they provide access to observations of solar, heliospheric, and ionospheric space weather phenomena. In this presentation, I will discuss radio instrumentation's significance for solar observations. The discussion will comprise ground and space-based radio instruments, providing insights into the front-end and backend components I have designed, developed, and characterized. These instruments enable us to explore the intricacies of the solar chromosphere, corona, and heliosphere. They will complement the other wavelength observations with India's recently launched maiden space-based mission, the Aditya-L1.
