Special Temporary Authority application - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
The University of Colorado is attempting to prove the feasibility of a new radar configuration for Stone Aerospaces project VALKYRIE proposal to NASA. The radar transceiver will be positioned on top of the engineering center building, about 12m high. The signal produced from the transceiver will be aimed down at the adjacent parking lot. The signal will output short (50ns) bursts of approximately 10W at approximately 530 MHz. This frequency is allocated to TV channels 22-28, none of which broadcast in this area.
