The invention discloses a synthetic aperture
radiometer darkroom phase calibration method and device. The method comprises the following steps: installing a synthetic aperture
radiometer and a
point target emission source in a
microwave anechoic chamber; in the first-stage test, unit antenna output ports are connected with equal-length test cables and connected to a
microwave test instrument, a synthetic aperture
radiometer is set to be in an antenna observation mode, and a
point target observation unit antenna
phase difference test is carried out; in the second-stage test, the output end of the unit antenna is connected with each receiving channel of the synthetic aperture radiometer, the synthetic aperture radiometer is set to be in an antenna observation mode, and a
point target observation full-
system phase difference test is carried out; in the third stage of testing, the synthetic aperture radiometer is set to be in a
common noise injection calibration mode, and
common noise injection calibration is carried out; and calculating and counteracting a near
field effect phase difference, a unit antenna phase difference and a
receiver channel phase difference to obtain an accurate
noise distribution network phase difference parameter.
Darkroom phase calibration is achieved under the near-field condition, the result is accurate, and the method is simple, convenient and practical.
