Adaptive Programmable Signal Processor Study. Volume 3

Abstract

This report presents the results of a study to define an Adaptive Programmable Signal Processor (APSP) suitable for on-board satellite processing of data generated by spaceborne electro-optical surveillance sensors and dual mode radars. The tasks performed included: (1) definition of system requirements based upon mission requirements supplied by SAMSO, (2) definition of processor performance requirements, (3) configuration of a processor architecture to meet those requirements, (4) evaluation of present and projected semi-conductor device technology applicable to APSP development, (5) identification and preliminary design of those devices critical to APSP development, and (6) preparation of a plan for designing, fabricating and testing a feasibility demoonstration model of an APSP, including requirement component development.
