| Abstract | The Global Back-Projection (GBP) Algorithm has been known for use in Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) image formation for many years. But, despite many advantages compared to other algorithms, GBP usage is limited. It requires significant computational complexity and consumes more power. This paper presents a high-performance architecture which allows efficient and scalable implementation of the GBP algorithm on a Field Programmable Gate Array (FPGA). Such an architecture is based on a systolic array that performs back-projection in a pipelined way, using parallelism over image pixels and radar pulses. A GBP systolic array is built using specially designed back-projection streaming cores. The cores utilize a floating-point calculation on the FPGA to achieve accurate and high-dynamic range in GBP integration. Results presented herein, show the achieved performance of GBP-based image formation using an FPGA and details the power consumption of the described implementation. Comparison is made to other computational platforms in order to determine advantage for real-time and power constrained SAR applications and platforms. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.
