(June 25th, 10AM - 11:30pm JST, KST)
This is our 3rd joint webinar with AMD, where we will introduce Space-Based SAR using AMD Versal™ Adaptive SoCs.
Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) systems enable the capture of high resolution 2D and 3D imagery through adverse weather conditions and during the hours of darkness. The use of various radar frequency bands can yield important information on vegetation, geology, and oceanography. SAR images are useful for economic, environmental, and disaster recovery purposes.
Implementation of SAR can be accomplished in an adaptive SoC by filtering the radar return, forming a data cube of returns within a coherent pulse interval, and performing FFT-based processing to derive range and azimuth data needed to create a SAR image. The processing workload is intense, requiring rapid complex matrix multiplications and matrix transposition operations.
In this webinar we discuss the signal processing requirements of a modern space-based SAR system, and describe the implementation of a SAR design with a hardware-in-the-loop simulation using MATLAB® and Simulink® from MathWorks® and an AMD Versal™ Adaptive SoC which is available as a radiation-tolerant space-grade device.
In the partner session, Infineon and IR HiRel will introduce its Space memories and power solutions which enable AMD Versal™ Adaptive SoCs to achieve important functions and performance goals for SAR.
