Abstract :
An active dipole antenna has been designed to measure transient electric field induced by ultra high energy cosmic rays for the CODALEMA experiment. The main requirements for this detector, composed of a low noise preamplifier placed close to a dipole antenna, are a wide bandwidth ranging from 100 kHz to 100 MHz and a good sensitivity on the whole spectrum.
