Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
A STA is necessary to provide hands-on study of low-power, low-infrastructure systems and to research new algorithms for low-altitude weather sensing. The radar used for this research will be operated at the University of Massachusetts Lowell.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

To perform research and development activities with a Low Power X-Band Radar. Frequency authorization is being requested for 9410 MHz in order to perform research and development activities with a Low Power X-Band Radar used to perform precipitation studies. Technical Synopsis: - Spectrum needed: 9410 MHz - Power levels requested: 193 KW ERP - Expected time of use: Anywhere from 0600-2200, 12-16 hours/day, 5-7 days/week - Stop buzzer contact: Steven Snay (Phone: 978-934-3373, Cell: 978-995-7730)
