radar transmission
A site transmitting radar signals for purposes such as navigation, military operations, or research.
Radar transmission sites are used for the dissemination of radar signals, usually for military, navigation, or research purposes.
The radar transmitting equipment establishes the use. Military, navigation, and research purposes are common examples rather than an exhaustive list.
The category concerns the site's signal function rather than a particular antenna support. A building, tower, or other installation can house the transmitting equipment.
