Abstract :
Pushed by the continuous improvement of digital processing capability, nowadays a relatively low cost real time strip map synthetic aperture radar (SAR) processor is feasible. This paper first selects an adequate SAR processing algorithm and second looks for a suitable COTS platform based on digital signal processors for achieving real time processing without any accuracy loss.
