What is Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar

Chapter 17
Handbook of Research on Advanced Trends in Microwave and Communication Engineering
An active, synthetic, microwave imaging radar used to image the targets moving non-cooperatively at a distance. It can be used to capture the images of targets in almost all weather conditions except in heavy rain. Motion of the target is instrumental in ISAR.

Abstract
In this chapter, Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar, a special type of active microwave synthetic aperture radar is introduced and its applications in military surveillance are presented. Then, the basic principles involved in data acquisition and image generation are explained. The issues and challenges involved in processing the ISAR images for autonomous target detection and identification are discussed later. The proposed classification method is explained and its accuracy is evaluated experimentally against the conventional classification method in the rest of the chapter.
