A fast algorithm of azimuth processing for spaceborne aperture radar (SAR), which is called SPECAN algorithm, is proposed. Compared with general frequency algorithms, SPECAN has advantages in computation, memory and structure. SPECAN algorithm is very important for surveying real time processing of spaceborne SAR. The structure and special problems for SPECAN algorithm used in spaceborne SAR are mainly engaged in this paper. Finally, raw data of SEASAT-A satellite is used to verify the feasibility of SPECAN algorithm.
