Special Temporary Authority application - Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Applicant seeks an STA to conduct experimental tests with the Ku-Band Tracking Radar (KTR) by Technovative Applications along with Software Defined Radios (SDRs) and the GTRI designed Angry Kitten. A majority of the tests will have a fixed emitter and fixed receiver site and always located within the Cobb County Research Facility area with potential to mount receivers on a mobile platform. Test waveforms will include FSK, PSK, FM, and AM type modulations with bandwidths up to 500 MHz in the K-band (one distinct carrier frequency). Data measured by the SDRs and/or the Angry Kitten will be used to evaluate Electronic Intelligence (ELINT) algorithms and transmitter characteristics.
