Question 7: Purpose of Experiment
This application is being made to support the testing and evaluation of ELTA radars. These tests will
be conducted to test and verify new radar processing software and algorithms, develop equipment
designs, conduct production tests and equipment calibration, and demonstrate products to customers.
Tests will be conducted in McAllen, TX Hidalgo County and Marana, AZ Pima County on a
designated tower. Those location are isolated and has surrounded with trees and foliage. The antenna,
transmitter, and receiver are mounted on the antenna support structure.


It is essential that these tests be performed outside of a laboratory or anechoic chamber to create the
necessary radar environment that includes land and foliage clutter, ground moving vehicles, birds,
fixed and rotary wing aircraft, second time around radar targets and clutter, and other atmospheric
disturbances that affect radar performance.


The ELM-2112FP system is a linear FMCW radar for Foliage Penetration applications. The system
will transmit in the 1200-1300 MHz frequency band from a Slotted waveguide antenna. The array
has a horizontal beamwidth of 90 degrees and a vertical beamwidth of 15 degrees.
