SAS / SLS Data Recording

[a***@a.com]

Folks

I'm trying to calculate estimates regarding the size of data I might
collect with a synthetic aperture sonar and a "normal" side looking
sonar based upon first order parameters (e.g., vehicle speed, PRF, pulse
width, IF bandwidth).

I want to show how much data one might want to record / process /
transmit per unit mile traveled.

Unfortunately, I'm stymied.

Is there a straightforward expression for this, or is it harder than
than I remember. I seem to remember seeing this done and remarking
"that's handy, you'll want to do that one day".

Pointers to classic references, web sites, or responses here at s.e.r
all appreciated.

Thanks!

It sounds like you already have the prblem solved. You will be
recording data at given sampling rate (Fs) for a given amount of time
(pulse_width + swath_width) every so often (PRF). This and number of
bits out of the A2D tells you how much data you will be writting and
how fast. If you want to relate it to other paramters, just substittue
in values as for any other algebraic expression.

Hope this helps.

Hmmm, sounds fairly clear and easy .... perhaps I was just making the
problem too hard for myself.

Thanks for the feedback!
