Range-Doppler Radar Imaging and Motion Compensation

With the assistance of graduate students (U. of Texas-El Paso), Son, Gabriel Thomas, and Benjamin C. Flores condense the considerable literature on motion compensation as it relates to inverse synthetic aperture radar mapping, which is a particular form of range-Doppler imaging. Their purpose is to introduce practicing radar engineers to some of the advanced methods used to analyze and synthesize the echo transfer functions of the radar's targets. They cover three approaches to measuring the phase slope of the target signature: basic phase- difference, least-squares estimation, and weighted least-squares estimation.
