Claim 2:
3. An apparatus for processing source data comprising:
an antenna unit configured to receive the source data generated by a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) based on a signal returned from backscattering of a beam, wherein the SAR is mounted on a platform and configured to steer the beam to an observation area in a steering direction perpendicular to a flight path of the platform, wherein the observation area includes a plurality of swaths;
a processor unit configured to:
parse the received source data,
group a set of swaths of the plurality of swaths having a same angle of the steering direction along the flight path as a subswath based on the parsed source data, decode the parsed source data,
and generate image data by calling the decoded source data corresponding to the subswath; and

a memory unit configured to store the decoded source data corresponding to the subswath.
