Explanation
Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary:
Experiments are designed to test a passively sense radio frequency spectrum device across 0.3-40 GHz, in receive mode only, at S2s Location at 4 Ice Pond Road, Bozeman, MT 59715 in Nov 23 -March 2024. The receiver is wideband. In order to calibrate the receiver system and demonstrate direction finding in a real world environment.

Purpose of Operation
Please explain the purpose of operation:  Demonstration of ability of a passive receiver to see RF frequency activity across a wide band Demonstration of ability of a passive receiver to see RF frequency activity across a wide band & to transmit RF to calibrate receiver system and determine direction of arrival in a real world environment.
