Abstract

It is an essential design process to analyze processing load and set out high level software (SW) and hardware (HW) mapping of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) processor before implementation. The contribution of this paper is to suggest the practical SW and HW mapping method of space-based SAR processor using range-Doppler algorithm (RDA). Also simulation is performed to the experimental-SAR processor to prove the practicability and usefulness of the method, and then results are discussed. Therefore, this method can be applied for high level SW and HW mapping of the space-based SAR processor using RDA.
