For a target with rotating parts, the ISAR image of its main body may be overshadowed by micro-Doppler signals, which are traditionally treated as interference and removed from radar echoes. However, it is potentially useful to perform imaging using micro-Doppler signals because they contain information on the geometrical structure of the rotating part. Inspired by the inverse Radon transform, well-known in the image processing community, this paper creates a data-recording model for two-dimensional (2D) ISAR imaging of rotating parts. Based on this model, the real-valued inverse Radon transform is applied to image formation in the range-slow time domain. Then we put forward a complex-valued inverse Radon transform for imaging of rotating parts, which utilizes both the sinusoidal modulus and the phase of the radar echoes. Additionally, we analyze possible problems when applying these algorithms in real world situations and provide corresponding solutions. Finally, the effectiveness of the algorithms is demonstrated using simulated and measured data.
