Localization and identification of small unmanned aircraft systems become more and more of interest. In this context radar cross sections for such objects have been investigated by extensive measurements utilizing a fully polarimetric, bi-static wideband mm-wave radar system. The influence of the shapes and orientations of the drones, and of the bi-static angles of the measurement system setup are compared and discussed.
