Abstract :
In this paper we present calibration procedures and software consideration for PHAROS receiver. New calibration with total power back-end is proposed. Simulated results are compared with multi-element phase toggle (MEP) method to verify a new calibration algorithm. Some theoretical basis of calibration procedure are given. Phased arrays for reflector observing systems (PHAROS) software requirements are shown to achieve receiver complexity
