Analytic Coherent Radar Techniques for Target Mapping

From among the many inverse shape and motion techniques considered in our work, a review is made of four methods for target mapping using coherent monostatic and multistatic measurements. These methods can provide a wide variety of shape description: surface outline, a map of discontinuities, or a viewable image in two or three dimensions. The paper discusses the form of the resulting target descriptions, as well as the kind of processing-and measurements required. In so doing, the discussion also provides an account of the nature of inverse scattering techniques in general.
