Abstract: Abstract The purpose of this chapter is to explain the basics of radar imaging and to list a variety of associated open problems. After a short section on the historical background, the chapter includes a derivation of an approximate scalar model for radar data. The basics in inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) are discussed, and a connection is made with the Radon transform. Two types of synthetic aperture radar (SAR), namely, spotlight SAR and stripmap SAR, are outlined. Resolution analysis is included for ISAR and spotlight SAR. Some numerical algorithms are discussed. Finally, the chapter ends with a listing of open problems and a bibliography for further reading.
