This paper addresses the challenges of wideband signal beamforming in radar systems and proposes a new calibration method. Due to operating conditions, the frequency-dependent characteristics of the system can be changed, and the amplitude, phase, and time delay error can be generated. The proposed method is based on the concept of the sliding window algorithm for linear frequency modulated (LFM) signals. To calibrate the frequency-dependent errors from the transceiver and the time delay error from the true time delay elements, the proposed method utilizes the characteristic of the LFM signal. The LFM signal changes its frequency linearly with time, and the frequency domain characteristics of the hardware are presented in time. Therefore, by applying a matched filter to a part of the LFM signal, the frequency-dependent characteristics can be monitored and calibrated. The proposed method is compared with the conventional matched filter-based calibration results and verified by simulation results and beampatterns. Since the proposed method utilizes LFM signal as the calibration tone, the proposed method can be applied to any beamforming systems, not limited to LFM radars.
