ISAR minimum-entropy phase adjustment

A new technique is developed for phase adjustment in ISAR imaging. The adjustment phase is found by iteratively solving an equation, which is derived by minimizing the entropy of the image. This technique can be used to estimate adjustment phases of any form. Moreover, the optimization method used in this technique is computationally more efficient than trial-and-error methods.
