Abstract :
The characterization and identification of electromagnetic interference created by the slowly rotating blade of a MOD-2 wind turbine generator (WTG) is investigated. Field measurement data supports the thesis that at ground level the near field scattered component is an amplitude modulated secondary signal. A prediction methodology to define zones of interference to television broadcast reception is presented.
