Autofocus for inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging [PDF]
Autofocus is a key step of inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging. In this paper four new approaches to autofocussing based on the application of beamforming and subspace concepts to ISAR imaging are developed. Their relations to maximum likelihood (ML) estimation are identified.

Terahertz inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging with a quantum cascade laser transmitter
A coherent transceiver using a THz quantum cascade (TQCL) laser as the transmitter and an optically pumped molecular laser as the local oscillator has been used, with a pair of Schottky diode mixers in the receiver and reference channels, to acquire high-resolution images of fully illuminated targets, including scale models and concealed objects. Phase
