A Radar Calibration Processor ('RCP') for calibrating the amplitude of a stepped-chirp signal utilized by a synthetic aperture radar ('SAR') is disclosed. The RCP includes a periodic amplitude error (“PAE”) calibrator, first non-periodic amplitude error (“NPAE”) calibrator in signal communication with the PAE calibrator, and a second NPAE calibrator in signal communication with the first NPAE calibrator.
