ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus for calibrating antenna array systems comprising of a portable transponder (118) and a calibration processor (124). Calibration processor (124) generates calibration transmit signals which it transmits using transmit signal processor (104) and antenna array (111). Transponder (118) echoes these signals back and they are acquired by calibration processor (124) through antenna array (111) and receive signal processor (106). Calibration processor (124) processes the received signals to calculate antenna calibration vector (102).
