Abstract
This work describes a synthetic-aperture radar (SAR) data processor based on a pipeline of transputers. The system is comprised of standard off-the-shelf transputer cards, a custom built transputer card with 64 MB RAM, and software written in OC-CAM. The SAR processor was designed as a general purpose processor for spaceborne and airborne SAR imagery
