Summary :

Phase interferometer using baseline composed by uniform linear array (ULA) with stable phase center for estimating the angle of arrival (AOA) is always employed in the direction finding (DF) system. However, the phase center of antenna element could vary with the incident angle, frequency, multipath and so on. To deal with these problems, a novel method is proposed in this paper to calibrate the phase center over ultra-wideband (UWB). Meanwhile, the restrictions of this method are discussed. Numerical simulations reveal that higher accuracy and larger unambiguous angle range can be obtained by the proposed method.
