I’ve attached some notes and code samples from an ongoing project to do Inverse Synthetic Aperture Radar (ISAR) imaging with the Acconeer A111 radar module. I was intrigued by the part, and the prospect of a high frequency radar that could support imaging in my basement. Well, it works! If you are interested in going beyond range/doppler object tracking, I invite you to take a look.
Hmmm… Not so useful without the attachments. I’ll see if that can be fixed…
Thanks to Brandon’s suggestion (apparently there is a known issue with uploading files), the intended attachments are posted on Google Drive at:

Given the larger capacity, I also posted the sample data set (Tonka toy dump truck, pulse “profile 1”) referenced in the main script (acc_iq_bp.m). Other than fixing the data file path (and any Octave issues should you use that instead of Matlab), you should be able to replicate the corresponding image in the .pdf notes file.
What a project!
I’d like to replicate it but it seems I cannot get the sensor to work properly.
It keeps complaining about not being able to use the SPI interface correctly (“device or resource busy”).
Did you ever run into something like that?
No, I didn’t have any problems communicating with the radar. Hope you figure it out.
