In this paper, the possibility to accurately reconstruct the energy and direction of high-energy cosmic rays using a network of 192 radio detectors, assembled on an area of about 20 km², is investigated. Measurements are influenced by the properties of the detecting equipment; therefore, its behavior and limiting effects are discussed. The responses of the detection chain to radio pulses generated by cosmic particles with different characteristics are analyzed, and it is concluded that individual stations can serve as first estimators for the types of cosmic particles. The proposed radio network can resolve events (with energies higher than $\hbox{10}^{18}\,{\rm eV}$) coming from N–NW direction, with zenith angles higher than 44°. Simulations have also shown that lighter particles that interact closer to the Earth are more likely to be detected.
