This article deals with the motion of a hovering unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) with six degrees of freedom. The effects of the motion on the measured signal of a multiple-input multiple-output radar mounted underneath the UAV are analyzed. For each degree of freedom, namely the translation in $x$, $y$, and $z$ directions as well as the rotation around $x$, $y$, and $z$ axes, an algorithm is proposed to compensate the considered motion. The effectiveness of the proposed algorithms is demonstrated by measuring validated vital signs independent of the current UAV motion.
