Processing SAR Images On BoardSynthetic-aperture radar (SAR) processor operates aboard moving radar platform, turning raw signal data into images of scanned terrain. In conventional SAR systems, raw data either transmitted to stations on ground or recorded on magnetic tape by high-density digital recorders for subsequent processing on ground. Advantages include making SAR images available immediately and processed data transmitted or recorded only one-fifth as voluminous as raw data. Onboard image compression reduces volume of data even further.
