| Abstract | Regular calibration is essential to antenna beam-pointing angle of mobile radar considering system errors caused by the transition to a new site or deformation of the radar antenna structure. Traditional antenna beam-pointing calibration methods based on calibration towers, aircraft etc. are more widely used. However, these calibration methods are either too complex or too expensive for mobile radar. Since solar has relatively stable radio intensity and its angle of view can be accurately calculated, this study proposed a fast antenna beam pointing calibration method by using solar electromagnetic radiation as a calibration reference. In this method, radar controls its antenna beam pointing to the predicted observing angle of solar and tuning the antenna beam to scan the sun on azimuth and elevation until the amplitude of received radio signal achieved its maximum, then the azimuth and elevation of antenna beam is the value for antenna beam-pointing calibration. Finally, this study verified the validity of the calibration method by the real calibration data of radar. This method has been applied to a mobile radar with a 0.5° beam width. The results show that the integrated error of the calibration can be <0.01°. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
Ministry of Education, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT), has sponsored and funded the National Digital Library of India (NDLI) project.
