Disclosed are a calibration system and method for correction of tracking drifts in the output section of a satellite payload and a beamforming network. The disclosed technique exploits characterisation of path gain and phase tracking drifts as deterministic errors that can be measured over spacecraft lifetime without statistical approximations, and thereafter predicted for in-orbit daily temperature variations. Also disclosed is a satellite payload for transmitting test signals to the calibration system.
