Aiming at the problem that high-resolution real-time imaging of synthetic aperture radar(SAR) on unmanned aerial vehicle(UAV) consumes a lot of hardware resources, an efficient real-time imaging processing method for SAR is proposed. Meanwhile, high-resolution real-time imaging processing combining motion compensation and range Doppler two-dimensional matching is implemented based on a single field programmable gate array(FPGA). Simulation and field experiments show that the proposed hardware architecture has achieved significant improvements in integration and performance-to-power ratio and greatly improved the processing performance of SAR imaging system on unit area circuit and power consumption. The design has an enormous potential for engineering application.
