Abstract

In this article, the feasibility of real-time digital processing of synthetic aperture radar data for Venus Orbiting Imaging Radar low resolution modes is investigated. First, it is shown that range migration is not a problem for these modes. Then, under the assumption of no range migration, fast Fourier transform implementations for accomplishing both range and azimuth correlation in real-time are shown to be feasible with current technology. Treatment of other important aspects of real-time processing such as automatic focusing and Doppler centroid location is deferred to subsequent articles.
