Means that it is small enough to fit in your palm for the lay person. How small it is and in what radar bands is up to anyone’s guess.

Yes, but my question is more about what is it they are referring too? The J-35A or the WS-19?
I just want to clear up that they are not actually saying that the WS-19 has a RCS the size of your palm.
It's a report for a mainstream audience so it'll only be referring to the whole plane. Regular people aren't going to be interested in more detail than that.
Why would anyone think the RCS analog referred to an engine? A naked engine without being hiden in an aircraft is like a torch of EM rediator.
its pretty clear, they are talking about whole plane RCS.
That was my question "why would anyone".
Allegedly J-35A's cockpit (can't confirm if it's actually the A variant specifically):
WS-19(?)
