Abstract

The invention discloses an array antenna channel calibration system for a plane wave simulator, which comprises a plane wave simulator array antenna comprising multiple sub units, a regulating networkfor controlling the amplitude and the phase of each sub unit, a calibration probe antenna or probe array with a fixed and known position, a vector network analyzer, a connector cable and other accessories. The calibration system adopts a vector superposition principle, through control on the phase of the tested array antenna channel, in a far field area of the antenna from the two-dimensional array antenna aperture unit channel, a transmission coefficient (S21) value when the phase of the tested array antenna channel changes is acquired, and thus, the channel amplitude and phase difference isanalyzed. The channel calibration system has a wide application range and can be used for consistency calibration on the unit channels of the array antenna, especially for the unit channel calibration of the planar wave generator array antenna.
