I follow everything you said, and that makes sense. But the source question still plagues me. What in nature would emit 94 GHz radiation that could be reflected and detected? ... Are you saying that the radiation, being just background, is atomic? ... or cosmic, or solar?
See what Im saying ???

What in nature would emit 94 GHz radiation Everything, including you! See Planck's equation.

See post #13. The Planck Law radiation curve gives a brightness of about 10^-13 watts per meter squared per Hz per steradian for a 300K blackbody at 94 GHz.
See Krauss, "Radio Astronomy" for more info.
