Claim 0:
1. A method for processing source data in an electronic device, the method comprising:
receiving, by an antenna unit of the electronic device, the source data which is 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;
parsing, by a processor unit of the electronic device, the received source data;
grouping, by the processor unit of the electronic device, 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;
decoding, by the processor unit of the electronic device, the parsed source data;
storing, by a memory unit of the electronic device, the decoded source data corresponding to the subswath; and
generating, by the processor unit of the electronic device, image data by calling the decoded source data corresponding to the subswath.
