            Abstract : 
In this paper, the detection performance of a MIMO radar under Weibull distributed clutter is investigated. Numerical results, based on Monte-Carlo simulations, showing the detection performance are provided. The false alarm rate and the detection performance are carried out for different values of the shape parameter of the Weibull distribution and the number of transmit-receive pairs used in the MIMO radar configuration. The obtained results validate the improvements in detection performance available from a MIMO radar against a mono radar. The obtained performances are presented and discussed in this paper.
