Radar Doppler Polarimetry of Wind Turbines using the S-band PARSAX radar

Due to the necessity of more sources of renewable wind generated energy, the number of wind turbines in the Netherlands has grown in the past. Unfortunately, big sizes and movements of the blades negatively impact ground-based Doppler radars in the form of Doppler clutter. Such clutter leads to a downgrade of the surveillance radar performance...

Tracking aircraft with PARSAX

During the period 2007-2011, the Microwave Sensing, Signals and Systems (MS3) division of TU Delft developed PARSAX, a high resolution FMCW research radar. Since it moves relatively slow, and it cannot utilize techniques such as monopulse or conical scanning, it is unable to track aircraft by itself. An external source of information is needed,...

Development of Processing Algorithms for the Detection and Estimation of Multi-Layered Structures of a Windfield with Polarimetric Doppler Weather Radar

The Technical University of Delft has started a project in the form of a Master Thesis to improve their existing and develop new algorithms for processing the measured data with the PARSAX radar for 2D-Windfield monitoring. A new algorithm is developed that detects and estimates the multi-layered structure of a windfield using the measured...
