Table 1. Mean and median radar cross sections across 90-degree sectors for the measured bat (meas.), the anatomical bat model (anat.), and the ellipsoidal model (elli.) for vertical and horizontal polarizations.

View angles are defined such that ‘head-on’ indicates a 90-degree average over −45° to +45°, ‘side-on’ spans +45° to +135°, and ‘tail-on’ covers +135° to −135° centered on 180°. Values are given in linear units of cm2, follow by dBsm in parentheses.
