MATRIX PENCIL METHOD FOR CHIRP ISAR IMAGING WITH NEAR-FIELD MEASUREMENTS

Abstract

In this article, an algorithm is introduced for the chirp inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging with near-field measurements. This algorithm uses the matrix pencil method that facilitates computation of range profiles with super resolution. Furthermore, an ISAR imaging method is developed, yielding higher resolution than the pencil and convolution back-projection. (C) 2015 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
