A high-performance universal miniature radar system

This paper proposes the design and realization of a high-performance universal miniature radar system. It presents a well solution to the main challenges of the radar system including extremely huge data flow and calculating burden, the traditional custom-built pattern of radar system, and the strict limitations for the size, weight and power consumption of the airborne or space-borne real-time Synthetic Aperture Radar(SAR) signal processing systems. The system has showed the virtues of standardization, modularization, stability, reconstruction, good adaptability due to the combined application of the distributed parallel architecture, latest interconnection standard and processor. By the successful application cases of airborne SAR/GMTI and space-borne imaging, its high-performance universality and miniature property could be adequately proved.
