Abstract

This paper presents a use of multi-core DSP TMS320C6678 for the squinted-looking synthetic aperture radars (SARs) real-time signal processing method. This paper first briefly introduces the squinted-looking SAR algorithm and analyzes the signal processing by use of spectral analysis (SPECAN). Then, according to the requirement of squinted-looking SAR real-time imaging system, the high performance TI multi-core DSP TMS320C6678 is used for realizing the imaging algorithm through the virtual single-node technology for data transmission and interaction and the parallel approach to data processing. Finally, the flight experiment is carried out and the results show that the virtual processing method meets the requirements of the real-time imaging based on the multi-core DSP hardware platform effectively.
