LOPES is set up at the location of the KASCADE‐Grande extensive air shower experiment in Karlsruhe, Germany and aims to measure and calibrate radio pulses from Extensive Air Showers. LOPES is designed as a digital radio interferometer using high bandwidths and fast data processing and profits from the reconstructed air shower observables of KASCADE‐Grande. First results of the LOPES experiment are very promising for a future large scale application of the technique to detect cosmic rays of highest energies.
