Electromagnetic scattering from propellers of smallsized Unmanned Aerial Vehicles (UAVs) is studied in this work. Previous works have shown that rotating propeller blades produce significant fluctuations of the Radar Cross Section (RCS) in the case when the propeller length is about half a wavelength of the illuminating wave. To some extent, this facilitates both the measurement of the RCS in anechoic chamber and the detection of small-sized UAVs. In the present contribution, these studies are
