Description

It is shown what can be learned about the antenna functions of LBA and HBA antennas from TBB-data as used in lightning studies. The measurement of the background is measuring the relative total gains of all Dutch LOFAR stations as well as their frequency dependence. The lightning pulses measure timing and variations in the incident angle dependence of the gain. This is done for LBA and HBA antennas.
