Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary: A STA is needed for the development of a software defined radio, also known as Manpack Radio, running Wide Networking Waveform (WNW).

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

Over-the-air testing of a software defined radio. Additional testing is required to prove-out the radio waveform in an outdoor environment with multi-path and noise sources. GDC4S is continuing its development of a software defined radio, also known as a Manpack Radio, running Wide Networking Waveform (WNW) that is targeted for the Department of Defense (DoD) market and potentially for other customers, also. The tests yet to be performed include over-the-air testing outdoors in the vicinity of GDC4S? Scottsdale Facility that will help identify the effects of multi-path and range capability.
