Range-Doppler images are widely used to classify different types of Unmanned Air Vehicles (UAVs) because each UAV has a unique range-Doppler signature. However, UAV's signature depends on its movement mechanism. This is why classifier's accuracy would be degraded if the effect mechanical control system UAVs wasn't taken into consideration, which may lead non-unique while in-flight. In this paper, full-wave electromagnetic CAD tool investigate systems two quadcopters, hexacopter, and...
The detection and classification of Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) are disturbing challenges within contemporary radar systems, wherein the physical characteristics UAVs, including their size Radar Cross Section (RCS), exert a substantial influence on radar's capabilities.
