A multifunctional radar system can only acquire limited and discontinuous wideband pulses, which form sparse aperture (SA) observations of a target. To carry out radar activities (detection, tracking, and imaging) simultaneously for multiple targets, inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging exploiting these SA data is essential for multifunctional radar. In this paper, we study the phase adjustment and full-aperture (FA) reconstruction for SA-ISAR imaging of maneuvering targets. A modified eigenvector-based autofocus approach is proposed to correct phase errors within SA measurements of maneuvering targets. After phase correction, the FA data are reconstructed from SA measurements via sparse representation under a redundant chirp-Fourier dictionary. An efficient algorithm is developed to solve the sparse decomposition optimization, and ISAR images of the maneuvering target are obtained by adaptive joint time-frequency imaging approaches with the reconstructed data. Both simulated and real data sets are used to confirm the effectiveness of the proposed methods.
