The effects of including Faraday rotation and multipath on the probability of detecting low-flying, distant, fluctuating and nonfluctuating targets immersed in Rayleigh noise plus clutter are studied. The effect of ionospheric fluctuations is also considered. It is found that both multipath and Faraday rotation strongly influence the detection statistics, with the effect being greatest for linearly polarized targets and less marked for symmetric targets.<>
