Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Short-term (less than 6 mo.) unique, non-commercial, research-oriented experiment of a radar transmitter and receiver that will improve the radiolocation state of the art.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

Radar testing The radar transmitter and antenna will illuminate the earth within 100 feet and the return signals will be processed to yield images with resolution commensurate with the millimeter wavelength of operation. The antenna feed is less than 3 meters above an existing building and the antenna boresight is oriented negative 12 degrees from horizontal and 210 degrees clockwise from North in azimuth.
