For nonuniformly rotating target in the low signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) environment, the inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging is a challenging task due to the Doppler spread induced by time-varying rotation. In this paper, an effective modified bilinear parameter estimation algorithm is proposed and applied to reconstruct the ISAR image of nonuniformly rotating targets with low SNR. First, azimuth echoes of a range cell are modeled as multicomponent cubic phase signals (multi-CPSs) after range alignment and phase adjustment. Then, to estimate the parameter of the CPS (the chirp rate and the quadratic chirp rate, which are identified as causes of the target image defocus), a novel integrated parametric cubic phase function (IPCPF) and a reversing Wigner–Ville distribution processing are developed. Compared to other four representative algorithms, the bilinearity of the IPCPF guarantees a higher antinoise performance and a better suppression on cross terms. Moreover, by utilizing the nonuniform fast Fourier transform and the generalized scaled Fourier transform, the brute-force searching is eliminated and the computational cost is reduced. Finally, a new cross-range scaling method based on a regression analysis is proposed for the ISAR imaging. With the synthetic data and the real radar data, several simulation examples and ISAR imaging results demonstrate the effectiveness and the superiority of the proposed ISAR imaging algorithm.
