Bistatic-ISAR Cross-Range Scaling

Abstract

In this paper, we introduce a bistatic inverse synthetic aperture radar (Bi-ISAR) cross-range scaling (CRS) method to more effectively use Bi-ISAR images in their applications. For this, we propose a method to estimate the effective rotation velocity of a target in a Bi-ISAR imaging system, and restore a linear-geometry distortion that yields a sheared shape of Bi-ISAR images. In the simulations, we observed that our proposed method is capable of performing robust and precise Bi-ISAR CRS.
