Description
Over the past decade, radio detection of cosmic rays has matured from
small-scale prototype experiments to installations spanning several
km^2 with more than a hundred antennas. The physics of the radio
signal is well understood and simulations and measurements are in good
agreement. We have learned how to extract important cosmic ray
parameters such as the geometry of the air shower and the energy of
the primary particle from the radio signal, and have developed very
promising approaches to also determine the mass of the primary
particles. At the same time, limitations, both technical and intrinsic
to the radio emission physics, have become increasingly clear. I will
review the progress made in the past decade, discuss where the field
stands and provide a personal view on the limitations of the technique
and further potential for future development.
