Description
Extensive air showers are detected via particle measurements on the ground, the energy deposition in the atmosphere or via MHz-radio waves produced mainly by charged particles moving in the magnetic field of the earth. In addition, emission is predicted due to molecular bremsstrahlung. The Cosmic-Ray Observation via Microwave Emission (CROME) setup at the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT) consists of several antennas in the L-band, the C-band and the Ku-band. The KASCADE-Grande detector, which triggers the CROME experiment, provides calibrated measurements of air showers at the same location. In this talk the setup of a L-Band antenna, the signal chain including the data acquisition and first results will be presented. Long-term background measurements to determine the environmental background noise which show temporary monofrequent emitting interferences will be discussed.
