| Description: Type of radar experiment being performed. Simpler experiments can have higher signal-to-noise or simpler hardware configurations, while more complicated experiments provide more information. ‘Range’ and ‘Total Power’ are mostly historical. |

| Permissible Value(s) | Value | Value Meaning |
| | Doppler | Received signal is analyzed as a function of Doppler shift. |
| | Range | Transmitted signal is modulated in order to resolve and/or locate the target in range. |
| | Range-Doppler | Transmitted signal is modulated in order to resolve and/or locate the target in range. Received signal is analyzed as a function of Doppler shift in each range bin. |
| | Total Power | Only the total echo power is measured, with no separation in range or Doppler shift. |
