Abstract :
In the paper, an X-band airborne SAR system developed and produced at the Institute of Radio Astronomy is described. The system is designed to be operated from light-weight aircrafts. Implemented hardware and real-time software solutions are discussed. Several original approaches to the post-processing of the recorded data are considered. Experimental results are also presented and discussed.
