Quasi-stationary measurements of ATC radar signals-in-space

A new method is proposed to measure the ATC/ADR radar signal-in-space to validate the significance of results gained from electromagnetic wave solvers in context with ATC/ASR and ADR. The most effective method consisting of a CW signal to be transmitted from a hovering platform was developed step-by-step, also taking into account specific advantages and disadvantages. In the near future there will be a strong need for expertises in context with wind turbines potentially degrading radar performance. It is therefore indispensable to strengthen the confidence in the applicability of the chosen wave propagation tools.
