Abstract

Translational motion compensation is the key problem in inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging. It is usually accomplished in two steps: range alignment and phase compensation. The calculation load of range alignment is the heaviest in ISAR imaging processing. In order to meet the requirements of real time ISAR imaging, a novel range alignment algorithm is proposed in this paper. This algorithm is a combination of the frequency domain algorithm and the accumulated cross correlation algorithm and is implemented in two steps. The analysis of its computational complexity and the tests with real data demonstrate the efficiency and the accuracy of the algorithm
