Interference from Vehicular Radar and CARMA Site Selection

Vehicular radar may produce substantial radio frequency interference
for millimeter observatories.  The FCC has recently approved the use
of the 24 GHz band for this purpose.  The radars present a danger in
both the fundamental and harmonic frequencies.  FCC emission limits
correspond to an 0.6 MJy source at a distance of 1 km.  Careful site
selection can significantly mitigate these effects.
