Explanation

Please explain in the area below why an STA is necessary: Applicant seeks approval to operate commercial radio frequency equipment (receiver and transmitter) developed by DRS Rada Technologies. The RF equipment will be installed on a tripod and operated from a fixed location. The system will utilize a directional antenna with a fixed pointing angle. The equipment site and antenna pointing angle will remain static for the duration of the operation. The RF emissions will cover a variety of modulation signals, including FSK, PSK, FM, and AM type with bandwidths covering the frequency region stated below. All modulation bandwidths are constrained to the requested frequency regions below with analog bandwidth filters. Operation of this equipment will be intermittent over the requested duration, typically less than 1 hour continuous operation.

Purpose of Operation

Please explain the purpose of operation:

The purpose of this equipment is to provide a signal source to test RF receiver functionality being developed by the Georgia Tech Research Institute.
