Abstract
It is shown that frequency diversity improves detection performance of adaptive radar processing in the polarization domain. Multiband processing increases the quantity of data available for covariance estimation of clutter which is often inhomogeneous in range. The diversity improvement under an equal transmit energy constraint is greater for adaptive processors than that obtained in optimal processors which operate with known statistics.Keywords
