Chapter 5: Radar Systems for Rotating Target Imaging (A Holographic Approach)
Overview
The possibility of using the rotation of an object to resolve its scattering centres was, probably, first shown by W. M. Brown and R. J. Fredericks [21]. Independently, microwave video imaging of rotating objects was demonstrated theoretically and experimentally by other researchers [109].
An analysis of three approaches (in terms of the antenna, range-Doppler and cross-correlation theories) was made in [104] and [146] for the imaging of rotating targets. Here we discuss this problem in terms of a holographic approach.

5.1 Inverse synthesis of 1D microwave Fourier holograms
We shall start with the basic principles of inverse synthesis of microwave holograms of an object rotating around the centre of mass. The analysis will be based on the holographic approach discussed in Sections 1.2 and 2.4.
Lens-free optical Fourier holography [131] implies that an optical hologram is recorded when the amplitude...
