<p>A leakage calibration and removal system and method estimates the complex in-phase and quadrature phase (I/Q) components of a leakage signal for each beam location in the sampled down-converted radar signal in a radar system (10). In a digital embodiment, the stored leakage calibration signal (264) is subtracted (206) from the sampled radar signal, and the resultant signal is processed (208, 210, 212) to detect targets. A leakage calibration process (250) is activated if a leakage signal test (214) indicates a problem for a sufficient number of consecutive scans (216), wherein for each beam location, M consecutive I/Q waveforms are averaged (252), known targets are removed (254, 256, 258), and the resulting signal is scaled (262) and stored (264) as a new leakage calibration signal (364) is converted to analog form (366), subtracted (301) from the analog down-converted radar signal (300), and scaled by a variable gain (303) before the complex I/Q components are sampled therefrom (302, 304).</p> |
