ISAR imaging algorithm based on sparse representation has the advantages of high resolution, noise suppression and dealing with gapped data effectively. The method is based on the hypothesis that the imaging targets move smoothly. But the movement of ISAR imaging targets is usually of high maneuverability, which results in big phase error after motion compensation. Using the traditional RD imaging algorithm and the imaging algorithm based on sparse representation will make the resultant image fuzzy, and can't even be identified. This paper introduces a new range- instantaneous Doppler imaging algorithm based on sparse representation and time-frequency transform, which can effectively image the maneuvering target. The experimental results validate the feasibility of this approach.
