Method for implementing continuous radio frequency (rf) alignment in advanced electronic warfare (ew) signal stimulation systems

Abstract

A method for using a “B” channel of a dual channel measurement receiver as a transfer standard for power measurement, which may include in an exemplary embodiment: correlating measurements made with an “A” channel to measurements made with an RF Power Meter on one RF signal source, so that readings from the “A” channel are aligned to the RF Power Meter; aligning the “B” Channel to the “A” Channel (Transfer alignment of Channel B to the RF Power Meter), once the “A” channel has been aligned to read the same as the RF Power Meter; and using the “B” Channel as a transfer standard to measure all remaining RF signal sources in the system, on a time-line much faster than may be accomplished using a power meter.
