The invention provides a calibration method and calibration
system for the amplitude
phase error of a
satellite-borne DBF (Digit Beam Forming) transmitting channel. The calibration method and the calibration
system respectively comprise two levels of calibration schemes, and the two levels of calibration schemes are composed of output Butler front-end channel part amplitude phase calibration and output Butler rear-end channel part amplitude phase calibration. The method comprises the following steps of: firstly, injecting a calibration
signal after inputting the Butler, and
coupling the calibration
signal at a test port which transmits the Butler, thereby realizing the calibration of a
frequency mixer and a power
amplifier; and then, keeping the original calibration
signal injection mode, and receiving the calibration signal through a far field, thereby realizing the calibration of a filter and a feed source array. Through the method and
system provided by the invention, the measurement accuracy of the amplitude
phase error is improved greatly, so that the method and the system can be used for effective loads of communication satellites, detection satellites and navigation satellites, and also can be used in the technical fields of ground radars and the like.
