Abstract: A software programme has been developed at EMRAD to model the Radar Cross Section (RCS) of complex objects such as wind turbines. The model is based on Physical Optics simplifying the computational complexity of the model. Initial validation experiments show encouraging results. The model predictions can then be used to compute the effects of wind turbines on nearby radio systems. The objective is to improve the basis for establishing siting guidelines for the installation of wind farms adjacent to radio systems.
