Imaging of multiple targets in Rician and Rayleigh fading media.

We consider the imaging of multiple point or extended targets hidden in clutter whose details we do not know.

For Rician fading media, we use the phase factor of the coherent fields at multiple frequencies to image and derive the stability condition for the imaging functional.

For Rayleigh fading media, we use the cross correlation of the scattered fields and derive the resolution limit.

We also present numerical experiments to demonstrate the imaging performance.
