Abstract :
Two sequences of operations necessary for implementation of high-resolution image formation in strip and spotlight modes of the synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) are presented. The sequences are mapped onto a systolic/cellular architecture. The mapping includes parallel implementation of all the basic operations and the pertinent data communication. Detailed estimates of the computation times are provided.<>
