Abstract
A method of compensating for transmitter instability of a radar system is provided. The method includes the steps of transmitting at least one electromagnetic pulse and directly measuring at least one characteristic of the transmitted pulse. A comparison is made between the at least one measured characteristic of the transmitted pulse to a reference pulse characteristic. The results of this comparison are used to generate a complex weight for the at least one electromagnetic pulse. The weight is applied to the received return of the at least one electromagnetic pulse.
