The purpose of this study is to demonstrate that the fully polarimetric radar can be effectively used to measure the insect orientation. First, the polarisation scattering matrix (PSM)‐based orientation extraction method is reviewed. This method was proposed for traditional rotation polarisation radar, but is also applicable to fully polarimetric radar. Then, both anechoic chamber and field experiments were conducted to measure fully polarimetric insect PSMs and orientations, which verified the effectiveness of insect orientation extraction based on fully polarimetric measurement.
