Abstract
A data acquisition system for an airborne SAR (Synthetic Aperture Radar) wa s designed and implemented. DSP is used for the first time in the implement ation of a SAR data acquisition system. A novel precision programmable time r using the DDS (Direct Digital Synthesis) technique was designed, built, a nd successfully tested to provide increased flexibility, reliability and st ability.
