Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging

Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging: Principles, Algorithms and Applications is based on the latest research on ISAR imaging of moving targets and non-cooperative target recognition (NCTR).
With a focus on the advances and applications, this book will provide readers with a working knowledge on various algorithms of ISAR imaging of targets and implementation with MATLAB. These MATLAB algorithms will prove useful in order to visualize and manipulate some simulated ISAR images.
Key topics include;
basic principles of radar backscattering, radar imaging, and signal analysis
the characteristics of radar returns from targets
how to produce well-focused ISAR images of moving targets
features that can extracted from ISAR images
several important algorithms are introduced for ISAR image formation, ISAR image auto-focusing, and applications of ISAR imaging to air targets, sea vessels and ground moving targets
examples of ISAR imaging of ground moving targets, air targets, and sea vessels are discussed in detail
