WI9XNS
Class of Station:
FX
Nature of Service:
Experimental
Special Temporary Authority application - Initial values - Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:
The purpose of the test is to receive ground-reflected SAR signals for analysis and hardware/processing improvement purposes. The end result is achieve a simple, inexpensive design that can be used for educational and SAR demonstration purposes. As a SAR system, the radar must transmit while moving a distance to achieve the synthetic aperture. For this test the radar will move along a short rail system located on a building while looking downward.
