Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging With MATLAB Algorithms

This book provides a full representation of Inverse SyntheticAperture Radar (ISAR) imagery, which is a popular and importantradar signal processing tool. The book covers all possible aspectsof ISAR imaging. The book offers a fair amount of signal processingtechniques and radar basics before introducing the inverse problemof ISAR and the forward problem of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). Important concepts of SAR such as resolution, pulse compression andimage formation are given together with associated MATLAB codes.
After providing the fundamentals for ISAR imaging, the bookgives the detailed imaging procedures for ISAR imaging withassociated MATLAB functions and codes. To enhance the image qualityin ISAR imaging, several imaging tricks and fine-tuning proceduressuch as zero-padding and windowing are also presented. Finally, various real applications of ISAR imagery, like imaging theantenna-platform scattering, are given in a separate chapter. Forall these algorithms, MATLAB codes and figures are included. Thefinal chapter considers advanced concepts and trends in ISARimaging.
