On-board fault-tolerant SAR processor for spaceborne imaging radar systems

A real-time high-performance and fault-tolerant FPGA-based hardware architecture for the processing of synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images has been developed for advanced spaceborne radar imaging systems. In this paper, we present the integrated design approach, from top-level algorithm specifications, system architectures, design methodology, functional verification, performance validation, down to hardware design and implementation.

Onboard Radar Processor Development for Disaster Response

Natural hazards often result in significant loss of human lives, economic assets and productivity as well as significant damage to the ecosystem. Scientists have reported more frequent and intense natural disasters in recent years, which may well be attributed to climate change. Many of the disaster response efforts were hampered by lack of up-to-date knowledge of the state of the affected areas because damaged infrastructure rendered the areas inaccessible. Radar remote sensing is playing an increasingly critical role in providing timely information to disaster response agencies due to the increasing fidelity and availability of geospatial information products.

High-Performance Software Emulation of 1750A Processor

We describe a software emulator of the MIL-STD-1750A architecture that executes 1750A code at a rate of about 4 MIPS on a Sun 200MHz Ultra2 work-station, and effectively several times faster than that when application-specific optimizations are used.

Simple first order data compression processor concept

Data-compression processing systems based on an analog-to-digital converter /ADC/, includes a qualitative comparator for comparison of the ADC output with a ramp generator, which is connected as a bidirectional binary counter with selective inputs. A bidirectional ramp counter selects the proper ramp through a ramp generator selection network.
