Description
The Cosmic-Ray Observation via Microwave Emission (CROME) experiment is designed to study GHz radio emissions from extensive air showers. Multiple radio antennas measure externally triggered by the KASCADE-Grande air-shower array. The experiment is designed to detect a potentially isotropic, unpolarized component as expected by molecular bremsstrahlung emission in the low-energy electron plasma indicated by a collider experiment.
This contribution shows the measurements using the L-band (1-2 GHz)
antenna of CROME. An absolute calibration of the receiver system was
performed successfully and could be used for a specific signal search.
In addition, the measurement results were compared to expected field
strengths of molecular bremsstrahlung and simulations of other emission
mechanisms.
