We developed a radio interferometric technique for the observation ofextensive air showers initiated by cosmic particles. In this proof-of-principlestudy we show that properties of extensive air showers can be derived with highaccuracy in a straightforward manner. When time synchronisation below $\sim$1ns between different receivers can be achieved, direction reconstructionresolution of $< 0.2^\circ$ and resolution on the depth of shower maximum of$<10$ g/cm$^2$ are obtained over the full parameter range studied, with evenhigher accuracy for inclined incoming directions. In addition, by applying thedeveloped method to dense arrays of radio antennas, the energy threshold forthe radio detection of extensive air showers can be significantly lowered. Theproposed method can be incorporated in operational and future cosmic particleobservatories and with its high accuracy it has the potential to play a crucialrole in unravelling the composition of the ultra-high-energy cosmic-particleflux.
