Abstract :
ISAR imaging is performed on a 3 bladed rotating target with a low cost UWB Radar. Design constraints and radar parameters are referenced. A difference scheme is introduced to reduce the scattering from indoor clutter. Range-Doppler images are generated and compared between raw data processing and difference data processing. Time-varying target characteristics can be clearly observed from the resulting images.
