Maximum likelihood self-calibration for direction-dependent gain-phase errors with carry-on instrumental sensors:case of deterministic signal model by WANG Ding1, PAN Miao2, WU Ying1

“…Aim at the self-calibration of direction-dependent gain-phase errors in case of deterministic signal model,the maximum likelihood method（MLM） for calibrating the direction-dependent gain-phase errors with carry-on instrumental sensors was presented.In order to maximize the high-dimensional nonlinear cost function appearing in the MLM,an improved alternative projection iteration algorithm,which could optimize the azimuths and direction-dependent gain-phase errors was proposed.The closed-form expressions of the Cramér-Rao bound（CRB） for azimuths and gain-phase errors were derived.Simulation experiments show the effectiveness and advantage of the novel method.…”
