Abstract :
This paper describes a technique of microwave CAT and compensation used in phased array radar. By means of the system error data files of the monitoring network and design data files of the feed network, the actual amplitude and phase distributions of the feed network in an operation environment can be obtained and compensated quickly and exactly with a computer and beam-controlling system. The simple and effective technique has been successfully applied in two kinds full-solid state active and phased array radars
