LOPES-3D is able to measure all three components of the electric field vector of the radio emission from air showers. This allows a better comparison with emission models. The measurement of the vertical component increases the sensitivity to inclined showers. By measuring all three components of the electric field vector LOPES-3D demonstrates by how much the reconstruction accuracy of primary cosmic ray parameters increases. Thus LOPES-3D evaluates the usefulness of vectorial measurements for large scale applications.
