Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Measurement of tracking performance of an active electronically scanned array (AESA) in support of proposed future low earth orbit (LEO) satellite constellations. The AESA will be placed on a motion simulator table under two elevated transmitter antennas at low power and the ability to track the antennas while the AESA is in motion will be characterized.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

To demonstrate beamsteering algorithms for an AESA to track LEO satellites and providing handoff from one simulated downlink transmitter to another.
