Experimental analysis of fully polarimetric radar returns of a fixed-wing UAV

The characteristics of the radar returns for unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) are useful for radar detection and classification of the UAV. In this study, the authors carried out an experiment in an anechoic chamber to measure the fully polarimetric echoes of a fixed-wing UAV in X-band. With the measured data, they analysed the distribution of the radar cross-section of the UAV. They also analysed th...
