Real-time optical synthetic aperture radar /SAR/ processorA description is given of a real-time optical synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The processor employs an acoustooptic device as the input electronic-to-optical transducer and a CCD camera that serves as the optical detector and simultaneously performs the focusing of the SAR image in the azimuth direction. The performance criteria of the optical processor that are discussed include azimuth resolution, image size in azimuth, range resolution, image size in range, flexibility, and dynamic range.
