Abstract :
The Artemis microASAR is a flexible, robust SAR system built on the successful legacy of the BYU SAR and other BYU SAR systems . It is an LFM-CW SAR system designed for low-power operation on small, manned aircraft or UAVs. This paper describes the high-level methodology used in designing the microASAR system and contains a description of the hardware specifications. Performance projections are also calculated and presented.
