Abstract :
This describes the radar signal features of a typical wind turbine and the simulation of the wind turbine signal based on a high resolution Doppler radar. The simulated signal is under-sampled with lower PRF to match an air traffic control (ATC) radar. The simulated signal is compared to the ATC radar data collected at two different sites. Remarkable similarities of the signal features are identified. These features may help to improve the primary radar detection and tracking performance in the future.
