What do you mean by modeling the area? If you just want to scan, yes you can point the radar to different directions in the area. If you want to see the illuminated area on the earth, then that's different.

hi start with beamforming create target at some range and angle determine your beamformer parameters : number staves, distance between stawes, wavelength then you can try to scan all angles and ranges
