In a low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environment, conventional range profiles-based motion compensation (MoCo) methods become inapplicable for inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging. In this article, a novel method for range profile alignment along with phase adjustment is proposed. The method is applied in the uncompressed phase history domain without the need for a prominent point. Motion errors are estimated from a phase map using only fast Fourier transform (FFT) and Hadamard multiplication operations, making the method suitable for real-time applications. The proposed method strives to aggregate the energy of all scatterers into a single peak by 2-D coherent accumulation incorporating the product of the radar pulse backscattering and its subsequent pulse, hence the reference to phase gradient processing (PGP). This process strengthens SNR and overcomes the problems associated with low signal power, even when the range profiles are submerged in noise. Experimental results are provided to demonstrate the performance of the proposed method compared with the state-of-the-art algorithms.
