Abstract :
A set of measurements has recently been undertaken in the UK with the aim of determining the RCS (Radar Cross Section) of typical wind turbines, both in an isolated location, and within a wind farm. The measurements made use of a triband channel sounder, employing 10 MChip/s PN sequence with off-line correlation. The results from this campaign are presented, with comments on the limitations and implications, and with suggestions for further work.
