Synthetic Aperture Radar Processing using Field Programmable Gate Array

Synthetic Aperture Radar Processing using Field Programmable Gate Array

Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) is a unique imaging radar system that is capable of obtaining high resolution image by using signal processing techniques while operating in all-weather with the absence of light source. This capability has been widely used in observing the properties of the Earth’s fo...
