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.

Performance limits for maritime Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) [PDF]
The performance of an Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) system depends on a variety of factors, many which are interdependent in some manner. In this report we specifically examine ISAR as applied to maritime targets (e.g. ships). It is often difficult to get your arms around' the problem of ascertaining achievable performance limits, and yet ...

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

Migration through Resolution Cell Correction and Sparse Aperture ISAR Imaging for Maneuvering Target Based on Whale Optimization Algorithm—Fast Iterative Shrinkage Thresholding Algorithm [PDF]
Targets faced by inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) are often non-cooperative, with target maneuvering being the main manifestation of this non-cooperation.

An Image Registration Method Based on Correlation Matching of Dominant Scatters for Distributed Array ISAR [PDF]
Distributed array radar provides new prospects for three-dimensional (3D) inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging. The accuracy of image registration, as an essential part of 3D ISAR imaging, affects the performance of 3D reconstruction.

Refocusing Moving Ship Targets in SAR Images Based on Fast Minimum Entropy Phase Compensation [PDF]
Moving ship targets appear blurred and defocused in synthetic aperture radar (SAR) images due to the translation motion during the coherent processing. Motion compensation is required for refocusing moving ship targets in SAR scenes.

GLRT‐based detection of targets composed of distributed scattering centres
Attributed scattering problems have been found to be helpful in inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging and target recognition problems. In this model, the scattering centres are divided into two categories: localised and distributed.
