Please find below the abstract and bio.\n\nAbstrac t: Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) is a well-established method to form radar images of non-cooperative targets. Unknown and uncontrolled ta rget’s motions make well-known Synthetic Aperture Radar (SAR) techniques ineffective and\, hence\, the need for ISAR. Since ISAR has made its appe arance in the late 70s\, significant progress has been made that now sees ISAR being applicable to many scenarios and enabling multi-dimensional rad ar imaging\, such as polarimetric\, multi-static and multi-channel ISAR im aging. The seminar will start with an overview of the research activities at the Microwave Integrated Systems Laboratory (MISL)\, of the University of Birmingham. It will be followed by an introduction to Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar. The last part of the seminar will briefly cover various a pplications of ISAR\, including glances at the latest research.\n\n[]\n\nM arco Martorella received his Laurea degree (Bachelor+Masters) in Telecommu nication Engineering in 1999 (cum laude) and his PhD in Remote Sensing in 2003\, both at the University of Pisa. He is now Professor at the School o f Engineering of the University of Birmingham\, where is Head of the Micro wave Integrated Systems Laboratory (MISL) and Director of the Communicatio ns and Sensing Cluster. He is also Vice-Director at the Radar and Surveill ance Systems (RaSS) National Laboratory in Pisa and Chair of the NATO Sens ors and Electronics Technology (SET) Panel. He is author of about 300 inte rnational journal and conference papers\, 3 books and 20 book chapters. He has presented several tutorials at international radar conferences\, has lectured at NATO Lecture Series and organised international journal specia l issues on radar imaging topics. He has chaired several NATO research act ivities\, including the SET-293 RTG on “RF Sensing for Space Situational Awareness” and the SET-250 RTG on “Multi-dimensional Radar Imaging” \, one Exploratory Team and three Specialist Meetings on imaging- and spac e-related themes. He has been recipient of the 2008 Italy-Australia Award for young researchers\, the 2010 Best Reviewer for the IEEE GRSL\, the IEE E 2013 Fred Nathanson Memorial Radar Award\, the 2016 Outstanding Informat ion Research Foundation Book publication award for the book Radar Imaging for Maritime Observation\, four NATO SET Panel Excellence Awards (2017\, 2 018\, 2021 and 2023) and two NATO STO Excellence Award (2022. 2024). He is a co-founder of ECHOES\, a radar systems-related spin-off company. His re search interests are mainly in the field of radar\, with specific focus on radar imaging\, multidimensional radar\, passive radar and space situatio nal awareness. He is a Fellow of the IEEE.\n\nRoom: Boole Hall\, Bldg: EWI Faculty Building\, Mekelweg 4\, TU Delft\, Delft\, Zuid-Holland\, Netherl ands\, 2628CD\, Virtual: https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/435877 LOCATION:Room: Boole Hall\, Bldg: EWI Faculty Building\, Mekelweg 4\, TU De lft\, Delft\, Zuid-Holland\, Netherlands\, 2628CD\, Virtual: https://event s.vtools.ieee.org/m/435877 ORGANIZER:f.fioranelli@tudelft.nl SEQUENCE:20 SUMMARY:Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar: An introduction URL;VALUE=URI:https://events.vtools.ieee.org/m/435877 X-ALT-DESC:Description: <br /><p class="xmsonormal">You are warmly welcome to join this seminar (in hybrid mode: Boole Hall at TU Delft and MS Teams) by <em>Prof Marco Martorella</em> of the University of Birmingham\, UK.
