Abstract :
In the paper a real-time SAR processor is presented. The processor has been developed as a part of the SARape (Synthetic Aperture Radar for all weather penetrating UAV application) project founded by the European Defence Agency. The processor receives raw radar signal, performs data correction, image formation and displays the results in real time. The core part of the processing is realized on graphics card using CUDA (Compute Unified Device Architecture) technology.
