Abstract
This paper presents initial results on the characterization of radar signatures of wind turbines, in particular larger wind turbines (capacity over 7 MW) used for offshore wind farms. Experimental results from simultaneous data collected using a passive DVB-T (Digital Video Broadcasting-Terrestrial) radar sensor and an active radar working at S-band are presented, as well as some comments on the parallel work on the modelling of the turbine and on the development of detection algorithms specific for this type of clutter. The initial results show significant variability of the signatures for different radar sensors used, but also for different parameters (e.g. polarization) for the same radar sensor and operational conditions of the turbine (rotation speed, yaw angle).
