Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of communications, and particularly relates to an RCS test echo calibration method based on directional filtering and related systems. Background Art

[0002] In the test of Rich Communication Service (RCS) in converged communication, the traditional method is that the radar antenna always aims at the center position of the target. At the same time, the relative trajectory between the antenna and the target must be a standard circular arc with the target center as the origin and the distance from the target center to the antenna position as the standard, and it must be a uniform motion. Based on such a test environment, the measured RCS value can be accurate. Based on this test situation, in some special test environments, if the target must remain stationary during the test while the radar makes a circular motion, then it is basically impossible to require that the trajectory of the radar motion is a standard circular arc without any error. Thus, during the movement, there is a certain deviation between the actual position of the radar antenna and the ideal position, and this deviation will cause a serious phase error between the actual echo of the target and the standard echo. This error will cause the RCS test result to be distorted. Summary of the Invention
