Abstract
The authors present a synthetic aperture radar (SAR) coherent system model and inversion (ISAR) to image a target moving with an unknown constant velocity in a stationary background. It is shown that SAR imaging of a moving target can be converted into imaging the target in a stationary squint-mode SAR problem where the parameters of the squint-mode geometry depend on the target's velocity. A method for estimating the moving target's velocity that utilizes a spatial Doppler analysis of the SAR data within overlapping subapertures is presented. On estimating a moving target's velocity, unlike the temporal Doppler processing methods, the spatial Doppler technique does not require the radar signal to be narrowband. Thus, the reconstructed image's resolution is not sacrificed to improve the target's velocity estimator. >
