Abstract
LOFAR is a new digital radio interferometer that is being build in The Netherlands. By sampling the radio waves with fast ADCs it can digitally store the whole waveform information and analyze transient events like air showers after they have been recorded. To demonstrate its ability to measure air showers we are building LOPES (a LOFAR Prototype Station) at the site of an existing air shower array (KASCADE-Grande). The first phase consisting of 10 antennas is already running. It has demonstrated how digital interference suppression and beamforming can overcome the problem of radio interference and pick out air shower events.
