  • Abstract
    A compact RISC/FPGA based hardware architecture for high resolution SAR signal processing is presented. Sensor data rates above 300 Mbit/s and image dimensions of 8k × 4k pixels are processed in real-time. A maximum power consumption of less than 16 W enables for usage on small UAVs.
