Ground Moving Target Imaging for Highly Squint SAR by Modified Minimum Entropy Algorithm and Spectrum Rotation
Round 1
Reviewer 1 Report
Although the originality of this paper is average, the writing structure and the organization are very good. The author covered the topic very well. The only problem is related to the complicated equations used in this paper, which needs the reader to spend a long time understanding and linking the meaning of each equation to the other. Also, a summary of the numerical results must be included at the end of the abstract. The related work is missing also, I understand that including an additional section will make the paper length very long, however, it is important to add some recent studies in a separate section.

Article is well written. Introduction and problem presentation is described properly. Proposed method is explained in a correct way. I think that first figure migth be improved by adding some extra marks (x_e, v_x, v_y, etc). I would like also if autors explain a little bit more how they define base band echo: is is a signal measured by recording device after (beat signal) or signal after preprocessing (like FFT or something). In line 191 I recognize typo. It probabbly shoul be Hadamard product insted of Hardmar product. If I am wrong plead define what Hardmar product is.

Reviewer 3 Report
This is an interesting contribution to SAR technology with wide theoretical approach.
My notes on the text:
row 225 Table1. This table is not a typical table, but steps in process. I think it will be better to use a flow-chart or a bulleted listing
row 382 Table 3 - Ideal value ...of what? Please, better explained
row 387 The radar platform flies at the velocity of 150m/s...add an information about flight altitude and better describe the SAR instrument
Fig.13 ok, may be a scale will be nice; what is the approx. dimension of this ship? And SAR resolution???
it would be appropriate to separate the theoretical and practical parts more. Something is a simulation and some is the practical use of SAR (moving ship) data.
