Measuring Balance Across Multiple Radar Receiver Channels

Doerry, Armin; Bickel, Douglas L.

When radar receivers employ multiple channels, the general intent is for the receive channels to be as alike as possible, if not as ideal as possible. This is usually done via prudent hardware design, supplemented by system calibration. Towards this end, we require a quality metric for ascertaining the goodness of a radar channel, and the degree of match to sibling channels. We propose a relevant and usable metric to do just that.
