Wind turbine clutter mitigation based on matching pursuits

Wind turbines could have a serious impact on Air Traffic Control (ATC) radar system because of the complex electromagnetic scattering properties. In this paper, matching pursuit technology is studied to mitigate the wind turbines interference. Due to the large amount of calculation in the conventional MP algorithm, rotation rate of wind turbine and radar azimuth are firstly estimated based on the priori information, then matching pursuit algorithm is applied to mitigate the wind turbine clutter. Effectiveness of the proposed method is verified via simulation experiments.
