• W3170939062 abstract "Active phased arrays suffer the inherent problem of excitation errors, i.e., incorrect phase and amplitude excitation of the antenna elements. Excitation errors degrade critical performance parameters since they increase sidelobe level and reduce antenna gain and beam pointing accuracy. To ensure the correct operation of the array, it is necessary to quantify and compensate the phase and amplitude errors of each antenna element. The compensation is accomplished by calibrating the phased array radar. Calibration challenges include the quantification and compensation of errors initially, as well as maintenance of the calibration state once the system is fielded. This dissertation presents research on improving the calibration of the active phased array front-end for radar systems. A combination of custom-made instrumentation with initial and in-situ calibration techniques is proposed to calibrate an active array test-bed. The test-bed consists of an 8$times$8 elements C-band array, and was developed in collaboration with NCAR-EOL to provide software and hardware features that enable the proposed calibration schemes. Different calibration techniques were experimentally tested. First, an initial calibration technique for phased array prototypes is proposed. The technique employs a planar NF scanner to sample the excitation of each antenna element, and also to scan the embedded element antenna patterns of the prototype. The novelty of the approach is that it combines the collected excitation data with the scanned embedded elements to allow the prediction of both the co- and cross-polar pattern components of the array. On the other hand, to explore techniques that do not rely on external equipment and use built-in feedback mechanisms instead, mutual coupling-based calibration is reviewed and implemented. Two techniques were tested: an initial type, proposed by Bekers et al., and a proposed in-situ type, conceived specifically for analog architectures, to track errors during fielded operation. It was found that mutual coupling calibration techniques are excellent options for in-situ applications, with a root mean squared error (RMSE) in phase and amplitude of 0.75$^circ$ and 0.12 dB, respectively. Whereas, for initial type calibration, the tested mutual coupling-based technique yields a RMSE of 2.5$^circ$ and $geq$ 1 dB, respectively, which is not accurate enough to replace conventional park and probe for initial calibration of small arrays. Finally, to complement calibration theory, the required calibration instrumentation is reviewed, and more importantly, a novel scanner, designed exclusively for phased array front-end characterization, is introduced." @default.
