Fast, super‐resolution sparse inverse synthetic aperture radar imaging via continuous compressive sensing by Lv Mingjiu, Ma Lei, Ma Jianchao, Chen Wenfeng, Yang Jun, Ma Xiaoyan, Cheng Qi

“…Abstract Conventional inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging with sparse aperture usually suffers from high side lobes and wide main lobes, which limit the applications of radar super‐resolution imaging, multi‐target resolution, and cognitive reconfiguration. This paper proposes a fast, super‐resolution imaging method employing continuous compressive sensing for sparse‐aperture ISAR. …”
