This paper presents the development and the performance of the chirp pulse generator and processor for Pi-SAR-L2, which was upgraded from that of Pi-SAR-L (a predecessor, 1 st generation of L-band Airborne SAR). This chirp pulse generator and processor can generate the more than 85 MHz bandwidth chi...
