Bistatic measurements within the X-band frequency range are carried out to fully characterize the reduction of the total scattering widths of selected metal objects. This reduction is obtained by the use of two distinct cloaking structures. The measurements demonstrate that the total scattering widths of these metallic objects can be dramatically reduced with the studied cloaking structures. In addition, the isotropy of the realized cloaks is studied experimentally by analyzing the dependence of the scattering intensity on the angle of incidence of the illuminating wave.
