  • Abstract
    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.
