Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar Imaging With MATLAB Algorithms, 2nd Edition

Preface to the Second Edition

In the first edition of the book, I tried to cover most of the aspects of inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging starting from Fourier analysis to some advanced ISAR concepts such as range‐Doppler ISAR processing and ISAR motion compensation techniques. The main goal was to present a conceptual description of ISAR imagery and the explanation of basic ISAR research topics. Although the primary audience would be graduate students and other interested researchers in the fields of electrical engineering and physics, I hoped that colleagues working in radar research and development or in a related industry might also benefit from the book.

It has been more than eight years since the publication of the first edition. Since then, I have been really grateful that I have received positive responses from the researchers and colleagues that are interested and/or involved in radar imaging, and especially ISAR imaging. Undoubtedly, ISAR has been gaining more attention among researchers, scholars, and engineers as emerging new developments in ISAR research have been reported by various colleagues day by day.

In this second edition of the book, I have tried to include the recent progress made in ISAR imaging research and also give insights to more advanced concepts. Therefore, in this edition of the book, I have made the following alterations and additions:

• All the chapters in the first edition have been revised including all the texts, equations, and ...
