Relativistic magnetized shocks are a natural source of coherent emission, offering a plausible radiative mechanism for fast radio bursts (FRBs). We present first-principles 3D simulations that provide essential information for the FRB models based on shocks: the emission efficiency, spectrum, and polarization. The simulated shock propagates in anplasma with magnetization. The measured fraction of shock energy converted to coherent radiation is, and the energy-carrying wave number of the wave spectrum is, whereis the upstream gyrofrequency. The ratio of the-mode and-mode energy fluxes emitted by the shock is. The dominance of themode atis particularly strong, approaching 100% in the spectral band around. We also provide a detailed description of the emission mechanism for bothandmodes.
