Abstract
In this article we review the progress made in understanding the main characteristics of coherent Čerenkov radiation induced by high energy showers in dense media. A specific code developed for this purpose is described because it took a significant part in this process. Subsequent approximations developed for the calculation of radio pulses from EeV showers are reviewed. Emphasis is given to the relation between the shower characteristics and different features of the corresponding radio emission.
