Multi-Channel Radar Pattern Synthesis and Angle Error Calculation

This article provides a comprehensive exploration of multi-channel radar pattern synthesis and angle error calculation. We examine the operational principles of multi-channel radar systems and their significance in both laboratory and industrial applications. The discussion includes implementation approaches such as phased array beamforming algorithms (e.g., using MATLAB's phased array toolbox functions like phased.ULA and phased.PhaseShiftBeamformer) for pattern synthesis and monopulse processing techniques for error calculation. Furthermore, we present detailed experimental measurement datasets that demonstrate practical implementation scenarios, including signal processing code snippets for data acquisition and analysis. Through this technical exposition, readers will gain thorough understanding of multi-channel radar operation mechanisms and computational methods for pattern synthesis and angular error estimation, supported by concrete examples and algorithmic explanations.
