Radio detection of air showers has continually grown and developed since the past few decades. It is already proven to be an effective method for extracting information of air showers and their properties. Existing experiments measuring such air showers mostly operate in the frequency range of 30-80 MHz, and have successfully measured cosmic rays with energies well above 50 PeV. In this talk, I will present the recent results which show how the optimization of the frequency range of operation can enable us to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, and thereby lower the energy threshold of detection. This optimization is universal, and can pave the way for an improved performance of all future radio air-shower arrays.
