Reviewer 2 Report

This paper proposes an imaging method for the special case of radar systems. The proposal seems reasonable however; the descriptions are too complicated and difficult to understand.

1. Both [1] and [2] are someone's thesis. Is there any open and widely read article for the topic?

2. For Section 2 and 3, please use figures for describing the signal processing, geometric coordinate and flowchart. It is hardly understandable.

3. In L. 274, characters are overlapped.

4. Fig. 1, 2 and 4 are quite similar to each other. Please show the difference further and if possible, show their oversampled images of the point targets to evaluate the focusing results.

Reviewer 3 Report

General impression of the paper: An original solution for imaging of high speed targets. 

It is recommended authors to cite the following paper where a physical interpretation of Fast Fourier Transform is discussed.

A. Lazarov, Ch. Minchev. ISAR Geometry, Signal model and image processing algorithms, IET Journal Radar, Sonar and Navigation, vol. 11, No 9, Sept. 2017, p. 1425 – 1434, DOI: 10.1049/iet-rsn.2017.0081.

The authors have to answer all reviewer's comments in an attached file.

Round 2

Reviewer 2 Report

The revised paper seems mostly fine except for that the power scale is absent for Figs. 3-6.

Author Response

Point 1: The revised paper seems mostly fine except for that the power scale is absent for Figs. 3-6.

Response 1:Thank you for the advice. We added colormaps in Figs 3-6, and we used intensity normalization (normalization with the maximum value of amplitude). The minimum value is zero, and the maximum value is 1. We also made the corresponding explanation in this paper.
