Abstract
A method of high resolution imaging and identifying of targets with an Inverse Synthetic Aperture RADAR (ISAR) coupled with Adaptive Beam Forming (ABF) is disclosed. The ISAR system utilizes a pulsed RADAR transmitter and a highly thinned, dispersed phased array with random, non-colinear elements. An adaptive processor and feedback loop performs the ABF process such that high resolution of a moving target is possible. The high resolution signal allows accurate imaging and identification of the moving target.
