Wind turbine angular velocity estimation using polarimetry

Wind turbines usually cause significant interference in the conventional radar operations which might degrade the detection capabilities. Wind turbines do not only block the radar beam focusing on a specific target, thus creating shadowing effects, but also impose Doppler spectra contamination due to the continuous blade rotation. Therefore...

Radar micro-Doppler of Wind Turbines: Low-Frequency Polarimetric Extension of Simplified Analytical Model

A simplified polarimetric model for radar signal scattering on wind turbines (WT) is proposed, which can be used for interpretation of observation in time and Doppler domains. This model uses representation of real WT as slowly rotating linear wire structures. The earlier proposed model has been extended to more general cases of WT with...
