摘要 |
This invention relates to a real time SAR processing system for processing synthetic aperture radar (SAR) return signals and a method for real time processing of SAR return signals. The real time SAR processing system for processing synthetic aperture radar return signals comprises a. light source ( 1 ) for generating a coherent, plane electromagnetic wave; light modulation means ( 2 ) for modulating the incident wave according to the radar return signals and outputting a modulated wave; and optical processing means ( 3 ) for submitting the modulated wave to an optical signal processing for radar image reconstruction. The light modulation means ( 2 ) comprises a plurality of addressable pixels ( 30 ) which are controlled based on the radar return signals. Light detection means ( 4 ) for detecting the processed wave and generating a corresponding electrical radar image signal are provided.
