Within the framework of a phase A study for CNES SMOS-HR (Soil Moisture and Ocean Salinity High Resolution) mission, Airbus Defence Space has performed an architecture feasibility implementation correlator function. Due to very large number antennas relatively bandwidth, processing power matrix correlation is massive with more than 7500 GMAC per second. An in KU060 FPGA VERSAL ACAP VC1902 been performance metrics have analysed. For both implementations, bottlenecks identified optimised proposed.
