PC satellite SAR processor
conference paper
We created a prototype for a flexible last multithreaded high precision PC satellite SAR processor, which can operate on a network of low cost PC platforms. The network approach provides a scalable solution to divide the workload over multiple computers, thereby reducing the computation time. The processing software is set up in such a way that it can handle data from various satellite systems (e.g. ERS/JERS/RADARSAf). Its primary purpose is to process any satellite raw SAR data into SAR slant- or ground-range image products. By applying clutter lock and auto locus techniques on the raw data, no satellite orbit data is needed, to derive range depended estimates for both the Doppler centroid frequency and the Doppler frequency rate.
