Next Generation Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR++)

This program aims at improving design methods and technology for complex sensor systems involving wide-bandwidth analog, digital, and antenna subsystems. Specifically the project will address synthetic aperture radar (SAR). The work will aim at achieving significant improvements in terms of performance, cost, and size to make SAR mapping more broadly used and also commercially viable in the future, while at the same time developing technical solutions of general relevance.
Primary goals for this project are:
1) To develop design and implementation methods for very wide-band electronics for analog sensor systems
2) To develop effective and flexible design and implementation methods for complex high performance digital signal processing and control systems
3) To develop wide-band and multi-frequency antennas
