Radar imaging payload

Block diagram

Overview

Our space-qualified integrated circuits and reference designs help you create next-generation radar imaging payloads to monitor surface conditions from space with maximum performance.

Design requirements

Modern radar imaging payloads often require:

  • Synchronization of multiple high-speed data converters.
  • Direct RF sampling to achieve high bandwidth and dynamic range.
  • High levels of integration to reduce size, weight and power.
