Spectral analysis of ionospheric disturbances of seismic origin will aid for the detection and prediction of the unavoidable natural disasters like Earthquakes. These disturbances for an earthquake occurred in Kawalu, West Java Indonesia with a magnitude of 4.3 on Richter scale was analyzed. The earthquake has occurred on 12th December 2013 at 7:02 hours universal time coordinate i.e at 12:32 hours local time coordinate. Maximum entropy method was applied on the ionopsheric disturbances seen on the earthquake day. The enhancement in the energy of the ionosphere has a high value at the beginning. It had a slow initial decrement and then a rapid fall down is observed. The method may profoundly represent the effect impending earthquake.
