Book description
This book provides a full representation of Inverse Synthetic Aperture
Radar (ISAR) imagery, which is a popular and important radar signal
processing tool. The book covers all possible aspects of ISAR imaging.
The book offers a fair amount of signal processing techniques and radar
basics before introducing the inverse problem of ISAR and the forward
problem of Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR). Important concepts of SAR
such as resolution, pulse compression and image formation are given
together with associated MATLAB codes.
After providing the fundamentals for ISAR imaging, the book gives the
detailed imaging procedures for ISAR imaging with associated MATLAB
functions and codes. To enhance the image quality in ISAR imaging,
several imaging tricks and fine-tuning procedures such as zero-padding
and windowing are also presented. Finally, various real applications
of ISAR imagery, like imaging the antenna-platform scattering, are
given in a separate chapter. For all these algorithms, MATLAB codes
and figures are included. The final chapter considers advanced
concepts and trends in ISAR imaging.
Caner Ã-zdemir, PhD, is Professor of the Department of
Electrical-Electronics Engineering at Mersin University and Dean of
Faculty of Engineering at Zirve University. Professor Ã-zdemir has
performed extensive research in synthetic aperture radar imaging and
has developed many novel methods used in inverse synthetic aperture
radar imaging.
