Abstract :
A new method is presented to compute radar returns scattered by a wind mill farm. This method will enhance the capability of the radar systems to locate low flying aircraft near the wind farm. This uses a previously developed method, Wave Confinement, to propagate the details of radar returns into the far field. A simple demonstration to compute the scattered signal from a single wind turbine is presented.
