Digital processing of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) data requires very large amounts of computation.In this paper we consider the feasibility of a VLSI implementation of the azimuth compression part of a real-time SAR processor.The area/size requirements of such a processor are evaluated by means of a prototype design. Two processing architectures are compared in terms of their suitability for VLSI implementation.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
