    Inverse synthetic aperture radar (ISAR) provides images of objects that are rotated with respect to the radar. An efficient image-focusing algorithm is required to generate ISAR images from the echoes of the raw data. In this study, a monostatic model was deployed to collect radar backscattering data in the millimeter (mm) wave band (67-110 GHz) using targets with circular, rectangular, and non-canonical shapes. The ISAR experiments were performed to assess the imaging performance of the three methods. The ISAR image reconstruction implemented in the wave-number (¿ - k) domain solves the target reflectivity and allows the target to be close to the radar. This shows that the mm-wave radar can achieve a sufficient resolution in the range and azimuth dimensions. Finally, we compared the results with those of spherical wavefront compensation (SWFC) and back-projection (BP) methods. The efficiencies of the three methods were tested using compressible data with wavelet-decomposition-based sparse measurements. To demonstrate the performance of the given methods, the point spread function (PSF) for the impulse response of the mm-wave wire was computed. There is a trade-off: the ¿ - k domain loses resolution compared to the SWFC and BP methods but can obtain a satisfactory image at a lower computational cost.
