Radio stations can record di erent values of the electric eld strengthfrom an extensive air shower induced by a cosmic ray. It is possible to derive theground footprint of a cosmic ray using the calculated electric eld strength recordedby a proper set of radio antennas in a speci c frequency range. In this study andbased on computer simulations we investigate the properties of the ground foot-printsof vertical and inclined cosmic rays propagating in a location of a new cosmic rayradio experiment in the Middle East. Semnan University Radio Array is a new radiodetection site that aims to detect ultra-high energy cosmic rays. We investigate thee ect of the zenith angle of a cosmic ray on the illuminated area as a result of radioemission from an extensive air shower development. The maximum possible spacingbetween radio antennas in order to be able to detect coincident events for both verticaland inclined cosmic rays at the location of this new experiment is also discussed.
