ISARLAB - Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar Simulation and Processing Tool

Abstract : ISARLAB (Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar Laboratory) is a computer program designed as a research and training tool for those interested in the field of radar imaging. The system runs under MATLAB and is capable of simulating the radar returns from complex targets such as ships and aircraft, and processing these to form high range resolution (HRR) profiles and inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) images. In addition to simulating various radars and targets in realistic scenarios, ISARLAB can accept and process experimentally collected radar data. This document represents the combination of a Reference Guide and a User's Guide to the software package, as well as providing a brief introduction to radar imaging.
