Abstract: This document describes techniques for enabling radar system calibration with bistatic sidelobe compensation. Radar signals reflect off of a flat plate that changes orientation (e.g., elevation and/or azimuth angle) and position relative to a mounting position of a specific radar sensor being calibrated. For each radar sensor, measurements may be obtained across a range of translational positions of the flat plate. Highly accurate calibration errors are determined for each radar sensor this way. By calibrating radar systems repositioning the target during the data collection in this way, the prominence of any bistatic sidelobes appearing in measurements may be reduced or prevented, which may enable less-complex and more-accurate calibration of each unique radar system installation. An indication of each calibration error may be output for use in individually adjusting the mounting position of each specific radar sensor within a radar system.
