Moving target imaging and trajectory computation using ISAR

Novel algorithms for moving target imaging and trajectory computation using a two-receiver radar are presented. The range-bin alignment is implemented with an adaptive method using the envelope correlation feature of different returns and the angular trajectory equation is solved using a linear least squares method combined with a unique phase-unwrapping technique. The angular positions of the synthetic array elements are determined from the trajectory computation. Three target models moving along a perturbed straight line are used to verify the proposed algorithms.<
