A Real-Time Synthetic Aperture Radar Processor: Introduction and Project Description (Een Real-Time Synthetic Aperture Radar Processor: Introductie en Project Beschrijving)

Abstract

This report presents a project description for the design and realization of a real-time synthetic aperture radar (SAR) processor. The principles of SAR processing and the state of the art are described. Conventional SAR processing techniques depend largely on FFT transformation techniques and devices. These offer limited possibilities to increase speed and performance of a SAR processor. Therefore the design of new algorithms rather than architectures for existing algorithms is suggested. After that new architectures will be designed dedicated to the new algorithms. By exploring parallel structures of the algorithms and by using VLSI array processing, speed and performance can be increased significantly. The intention is that the project will lead to a PhD graduation.
