Delft University of Technology Spectral Polarimetric Features Analysis of Wind Turbine Clutter in Weather Radar
Wind turbine clutter has gradually become a concern for the radar community for its increasing size and quantity worldwide. Based on the S-band polarimetric Doppler PARSAX radar measurements, this paper demonstrates the micro-Doppler features and spectral-polarimetric characteristic of wind turbine clutter, the probability distribution functions of different spectralpolarimetric variables. Fina...
متن کاملWind Turbine Clutter Mitigation in Coastal UHF Radar
Coastal UHF radar provides a unique capability to measure the sea surface dynamic parameters and detect small moving targets, by exploiting the low energy loss of electromagnetic waves propagating along the salty and good conducting ocean surface. It could compensate the blind zone of HF surface wave radar at close range and reach further distance than microwave radars. However, its performance...
متن کاملDetecting and Mitigating Wind Turbine Clutter for Airspace Radar Systems
It is well recognized that a wind turbine has a large radar cross-section (RCS) and, due to the movement of the blades, the wind turbine will generate a Doppler frequency shift. This scattering behavior may cause severe interferences on existing radar systems including static ground-based radars and spaceborne or airborne radars. To resolve this problem, efficient techniques or algorithms shoul...
متن کاملWind turbine impact on operational weather radar I/Q data: characterisation and filtering
For the past 2 decades wind turbines have been growing in number all over the world as a response to the increasing demand for renewable energy. However, the rapid expansion of wind turbines presents a problem for many radar systems, including weather radars. Wind turbines in the line of sight of a weather radar can have a negative impact on the radar’s measurements. As weather radars are impor...
متن کاملERAD 2010 - THE SIXTH EUROPEAN CONFERENCE ON RADAR IN METEOROLOGY AND HYDROLOGY Wind Turbine Clutter Detection in Scanning Weather Radar Tasks
Wind Turbine Clutter (WTC) mitigation is a challenging issue that worldwide weather services are facing at the moment. The use of wind farms to generate electricity is growing increasingly due to the importance of being a renewable energy source. Wind farm installations relatively near to weather radars may block the normal propagation of the radar signals and cause reflectivity clutter returns...
