In this paper, radar cross section (RCS) measurement for human subjects and vehicles in 77 GHz automotive frequency modulated continuous wave (FMCW) radar system is presented. In this system, it is impossible to utilize conventional RCS definition due to high frequency band and the modulation technique used. Therefore, we introduce a new parameter called pseudo-RCS that can replace the conventional RCS. Then, we conduct actual experiment in the road to measure the RCS of the human subjects and the vehicles. In the measurement, data of four human subjects and four different kinds of vehicles are recorded with the 77 GHz FMCW radar. From the actual measured data, we find RCS distributions of the human subjects and the vehicles. For the human subjects, the RCS values are distributed following the Nakagami distribution. On the other hand, the log-normal distribution is well fit for the RCS values in the case of the vehicle.
