Abstract

Radio emission of the electron excess of the extensive air shower (EAS) charge is calculated in the kinetic model, where in contrast to the previous models, radiation of each excess electron of the shower disk is calculated taking into account their spatial distribution in the disk, the disk evolution along the EAS track, the energy spectrum, and multiple scattering. The radio emission spectra are found at distances of 100, 200, 300, and 400 m from the vertical EAS axis in the frequency range of 20–360 MHz with a resolution of 20 MHz and with a resolution of 2 MHz at distances of 100 and 800 m in the frequency range of 20–320 MHz.
