Auto-calibration of Automotive Radars in Operational Mode Using Simultaneous Localisation and Mapping

This paper presents an analysis of a new method of automotive radar self-calibration which uses targets of opportunity. While conventional offline calibration of a phased array antenna requires accurate knowledge of the positions of calibration targets relative to the radar, such information is not available in a dynamic scenario. To...

Fish-Eye Observing with Phased Array Radio Telescopes

The radio astronomical community is currently developing and building several new radio telescopes based on phased array technology. These telescopes provide a large field-of-view, that may in principle span a full hemisphere. This makes calibration and imaging very challenging tasks due to the complex source structures and direction dependent...
