Abstract
A system may include a digital beam forming (DBF) antenna array including antenna radiating elements including a first and second antenna radiating elements. The DBF antenna array may be configured to: simultaneously transmit a set of calibration signals on multiple antenna radiating elements, the multiple antenna radiating elements including the first and second antenna radiating elements, each calibration signal of the set of calibration signals comprising a given timing acquisition sequence and a given second sequence, the given second sequence used to measure a phase and a gain of a given antenna radiating element; transmit a first calibration signal of the set by the first antenna radiating element; transmit a second calibration signal of the set by the second antenna radiating element; and calibrate the multiple antenna radiating elements by using an estimated relative phase and an estimated relative gain for each of the multiple antenna radiating elements.
