Abstract

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 arbitrary orientation and full polarimetric observations in mono- and bi-static cases, which can be used for analysis of low-frequency signals scattering. It gives a possibility to estimate the influence of scattered on WT electromagnetic waves not only on radars but also on communication links.
