In: 2022 IEEE International Workshop on Metrology for AeroSpace, 27-29 June 2022, Pisa, Italy. DOI: 10.1109/MetroAeroSpace54187.2022.9856394http://www.metroaerospace.org/index-metroaerospacehttps://dspace.lib.cranfield.ac.uk/handle/1826/18273This paper deals with Radar Cross Section (RCS) measurements of five small Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) in a semi-controlled environment as a function of azimuth aspect angle, polarization, and frequency in the range 8.2-18 GHz. The experimental setup and the data pre-processing, which include coherent background subtraction, range gating procedures, and calibration, are presented. Then, a thorough statistical analysis of the measured RCSs is provided by means of the Cram´er–von Mises (CVM) distance and the Kolmogorov–Smirnov (KS) test.enAttribution-NonCommercial 4.0 Internationalhttp://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc/4.0/Conference paper
