In this paper, a novel method based on the scaled transform is proposed for the ISAR imaging and cross-range scaling of a maneuvering target with uniform rotating acceleration. Firstly, the cross-range signals in each range cell can be modeled as multiple chirp signals. The scaled transform is utilized to eliminate the coupling with the slow time and lag time in the time-dependent autocorrelation function of multiple chirp signals. Then the 2-D accumulation plane can be obtained by the 2-D FFT and the cross-range profile can be obtained by a projection from the 2-D accumulation plane to the azimuth dimension. Meanwhile, the initial frequency and chirp rate of each scatterer can be estimated by the corresponding perk in the 2-D accumulation plane. Finally, the rotating motion parameters are estimated by the least square method and the cross-range scaling is performed. Simulation results prove the effectiveness of the proposed method.
