The similarity parameter between two scattering matrices, based on a special correlation coefficient, is presented. This parameter is not only independent of the spans of the scattering matrices, but also independent of the target orientation angles. As an application, the parameters of similarities to several typical scattering matrices are derived and used to analyse characteristics of a radar target.
