Abstract :
High Frequency Surface Wave Radar is currently a well-known surveillance system for the Exclusive Economic Zone. We are still trying to improve their performances and reliability. In this new research step, we are trying to assess the benefits of multi-static as well as multi-frequency configuration. The global ambition is obviously to overcome clutter issue and to increase the coverage for small target. Results presented here highlight the significant contribution of the proposed configuration.
