One of the most debated issues about the sub-mJy radio sources, responsible for the steepening of the 1.4 GHz sources counts, is the origin of their radio emission. In order to shed light on the physical properties of sub-mJy sources an important role is played by multi-frequency radio observation: radio spectral indices may help to constrain the origin of the radio emission allowing to distinguish between self-absorbed AGN cores and optically thin synchrotron emission. With the aim of studying the physics properties and the spectral index of the faint radio population, I have analysed a WSRT data of the Lockman Hole. The Lockman Hole was observed with the WSRT at 1.4 GHz. The data reduction was performed by myself. The Lockman Hole was also observed with LOFAR at 58 MHz as part of the commissioning of the telescope. This is the first LOFAR observation of a deep field.
