Abstract
The radio emission of the electron excess of the extensive air shower (EAS) charge is calculated in the kinetic model of the cascade development. In contrast to the previous models, the emission of each excess electron of the shower disk is calculated taking into account their spatial distributions in the disk, the disk evolution along the EAS track, the energy spectrum, and multiple scattering. The radio emission spectra at distances of 100 and 800 m from the vertical EAS axis are determined.
