Abstract: Radar forward-looking imaging is critical in many civil and military fields, such as aircraft landing, autonomous driving, and geological exploration. Although the super-resolution forward-looking imaging algorithm based on spectral estimation has the potential to discriminate multiple targets within the same beam, the estimation of the angle and magnitude of the targets are not accurate due to the influence of sidelobe leakage. This paper proposes a multi-channel super-resolution forward-looking imaging algorithm based on the improved Fast Iterative Interpolated Beamforming (FIIB) algorithm to solve the problem. First, the number of targets and the coarse estimates of angle and magnitude are obtained from the iterative adaptive approach (IAA). Then, the accurate estimates of angle and magnitude are achieved by the strategy of iterative interpolation and leakage subtraction in FIIB. Finally, a high-resolution forward-looking image is obtained through non-coherent accumulation. The simulation results of point targets and scenes show that the proposed algorithm can distinguish multiple targets in the same beam, effectively improve the azimuthal resolution of forward-looking imaging, and attain the accurate reconstruction of point targets and the contour reconstruction of extended targets.
