Research Progress of Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) Imaging of Moving Target via Quadratic Frequency Modulation (QFM) Signal Model

ISAR imaging of dynamic target is very significant in real applications. Plenty of available outcomes have been acquired by the scholars in the near years. Considering the accuracy and the computational complexity, the radar echo can be described as multicomponent QFM signal after envelope alignment with initial phase calibration. Many parametric algorithms in this case have been developed recently. This paper provides a comprehensive summarization of the ISAR imaging approach with QFM signal model in recent years, with the aim to introduce the research progress of it to the researchers and interested readers.
