Design of Simulation Platform for Missile-Borne SAR Imaging

Missile-borne synthetic aperture radar (SAR) imaging system is built up according to actual working principle, it uses the input data and embedded algorithms to simulate echo, then generate SAR image. Relevant algorithms is analyzed, a SAR echo simulation method based on graphic processing unit (GPU) acceleration is presented to satisfy the request of real-time. Simulation platform realized by MATLAB GUI turns out to be reliable and interactive, it can meet the demand for missile-borne SAR system test and development, and has some practical value.
