## Abstract

In this report, we discuss possibilities to detect a signal at the target from the quantum illumination protocol, that could serve as a quantum radar. We assume a simple universal detecting schema on the target and study if it is possible to discover the quantum illumination measurement and in what conditions considering the microwave regime. Assuming many simplifications, we found that the possibility or the advantage of the detection of the quantum illumination measurement strongly depends on the realization of the quantum illumination protocol.
