About the course

Course content

Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) may be seen as a 3D-to-2D projection of an object. The rotational motion of an object is a required element for ISAR imaging, whereas radial and/or translational motion will blur the image. Hence, to generate a focused ISAR image one must compensate for the parameters that cause blurring of the image. The essential topics related to ISAR will be covered in the course.
