Description
This talk will give a brief overview of the work done by the cosmic-ray key science project (CR-KSP) to calibrate the combined antenna and signal chain response of the LBA antennas. It will cover both the findings as well as the obstacles encountered in two different approaches to the calibration problem, one that combines antenna simulations with a dedicated measurement of the LNA, and another approach that uses the galactic background as a calibration source.
