Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
The waveform (Peaky FSK) allows for low data rate communications (25 Kb/s) with low probability of intercept. It has peak transmission power of 1 W but low average power of 1 mW. due to the peaky nature of the waveform. Each pulse at a specific frequency provides one or more bits of information.
