contents Multi-band sensing has emerged as a key enabler of integrated sensing and communication (ISAC), one of the six primary usage scenarios defined for IMT-2030 (6G). The introduction of frequency range 3 (FR3, 7-24 GHz), comprising non-contiguous sub-bands across a wide frequency span, further reinforces the importance of multi-band operation. In such scenarios, frequency-dependent clutter, collectively referred to as dense multipath components (DMC), must be carefully considered. Building on prior literature and our experimental observations, this paper analyzes the impact of DMC on multi-band fusion ISAC systems by investigating Cramér-Rao bound (CRB)-based fundamental limits and the performance of our proposed multi-band estimator. Numerical results show that multi-band processing, especially in DMC-dominated scenarios, can substantially reduce estimation error and boost system resilience when channel statistics vary.
