Abstract

The purpose of this chapter is to explain the basics of radar imaging and to list a variety of associated open problems. After a short section on the historical background, the article includes a derivation of an approximate scalar model for radar data. The basics in Inverse Synthetic-Aperture Radar (ISAR) are discussed, and a connection is made with the Radon transform. Two types of Synthetic-Aperture Radar (SAR), namely spotlight SAR and stripmap SAR, are outlined. Resolution analysis is included for ISAR and spotlight SAR. Some numerical algorithms are discussed. Finally, the chapter ends with a listing of open problems and a bibliography for further reading.
