Abstract: One of the applications often employed by radar is inver se synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging. ISAR imaging exploits the move ment of the target under surveillance to create a synthetic aperture\, to which the reflected signal is then processed within a coherent processing interval (CPI). The signal processed within the CPI can then be used to ex tract information such as down/cross-range position and reflectivity of th e target.

These systems go through extensive calibration process es\, which are conducted in controlled measurement ranges such as anechoic chambers before being employed in a real-world scenario. This comes at th e cost of an excessive amount of resources being used\, more specifically\ , financial costs and space allotted. One way to overcome this challenge i s to take advantage of frequency/target scaling since Maxwell’s equation s are invariant under dilation of transformation. The research being prese nted will explore the fidelity of this solution by utilizing a wideband ne ar-infrared source and a coherent receiver along with micro-sized targets.
