The bistatic configuration used for inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) imaging has attracted considerable attention because of its potential for overcoming certain monostatic ISAR imaging limitations. However, translational motion compensation (TMC) and rotational motion compensation (RMC) are the most fundamental requirements for both bistatic ISAR (Bi-ISAR) and monostatic ISAR imaging to obtain the high levels of image resolution desired. Moreover, range and cross-range scaling (RCRS) and bistatic distortion correction (BDC) are essential functionalities for the efficient use of Bi-ISAR images in applications. In this paper, a novel approach to sparse aperture (SA) Bi-ISAR imaging is presented for simultaneously performing TMC, RMC, RCRS, and BDC on maneuvering targets based on compressive sensing. Instead of solving conventional optimization problems constrained by the sparsity of the signals, the proposed method utilizes sensing matrix estimation technique for Bi-ISAR image reconstruction using parametric signal model reconstruction by looking for the basis functions that best represent the behavior of sensing dictionary matrix comprised of the observed SA data. The reconstruction of the sensing matrix is based on a modified orthogonal matching pursuit (MOMP)-type basis function-searching scheme. Finally, we generate a focused and scaled Bi-ISAR image from the complete Bi-ISAR signal recovered using the proposed method. Several simulation results reveals that the proposed method is very efficient in forming Bi-ISAR images of high-speed maneuvering targets in terms of the Bi-ISAR signal reconstruction accuracy.
