Abstract: The problem of detecting a weak and noise-contaminated signal reflected from a non-cooperating object has dominated the development of radar systems since their beginning. The engineering solution --- the so-called correlation receiver --- is based on a target model that may not be best-suited to imaging methods which are forced to rely on these radar measurements. We will review the basic nature of radar data and explain some of the implications of applying these data to target shape estimation and imaging.
