Algorithm for assessing the readiness of a wideband radar for constructing radar portraits of space objects

The article presents the developed algorithm for assessing the readiness of a space monitoring radar station (SMR) to operate with the required accuracy characteristics in the radar portraiture mode (RP) for information support for solving the problems of operational updating of the space catalog (SC). It has been shown that the quality of the RP can be improved by selecting the parameters of the probing signals taking into account the current unevenness of the frequency response of the receiving system of the RP. The main operations of the algorithm for assessing the readiness of the SMR to construct a RP for controlling the parameters of the probing signals based on the results of calculating the Spearman rank correlation are presented, which ensures the best accuracy characteristics of the RP taking into account the influence of destructive factors on the characteristics of the receiving and transmitting channels of the active phased array antenna (APAA).
