Abstract:

This paper introduces a real-time compact optronic SAR processor that has the capability to generate ENVISAT/ASAR image swaths of 100 km × 100 km in 10 seconds exhibiting slant plane sampling distances of 4 meters in azimuth and 1 meter in range. It may be instantaneously reconfigured to process data from any of the 7 ASAR image swath modes. In this respect, numerous SAR image sets may be produced immediately on-demand without bottleneck. A rapid SAR processor that also provides fine ground sampling distances in both azimuth and range directions could provide benefits for such applications as ship detection, landslide and flood monitoring, snow and ice coverage and glacier monitoring.
