Abstract
The problem of the estimation of covariance matrices in multichannel radar system when signal samples are statistically dependent is addressed. An optimal maximum likelihood (ML) estimate is derived. Probability characteristics and sensitivity to signal models of the estimate are evaluated for a polarization diversity system
