One or more aspects of the present disclosure relate to the configuration and management of sensor components. More specifically, one or more aspects of the present application relate to the management of the operational parameters of radar sensors mounted on a vehicle. The radar sensors illustratively are configured with multiple input, multiple output based radar components that provide a phased array. A control component obtains and processes the measured complex response of an antenna array and utilizes the processing results to determine the phase center and optimize the operation of the radar sensor components.
