Abstract :
A simple method to measure backscatter cross sections of live insects at 10-cm wavelength using an ultra-high resolution scanning FM-CW tropospheric radar sounder is described. The technique involves suspending an insect along a line between two metal spheres and comparing insect and sphere cross sections.
