In the blog there's a video of what looks like cars moving around, but the lighting is constantly changing. How does that work?

It looks like a timelapse but then there are cars doing normal car things.

My guess is they are steering the radar beam from something hovering overhead.

The video links to a paper [1] titled "Airborne Circular W-Band SAR for Multiple Aspect Urban Site Monitoring" which mentions beam steering in the abstract.

That's what I thought too, but how can there be such significant shadows? Wouldn't the shadows of any wavelength they are sending be near nothing?
