Abstract
Radar pulses from magnetron radar are far from perfect rectangular shape. This paper investigates the effect of integrating a measured pulse shape of marine navigational radar into a radar propagation model used to assess the effect of a complex environment, in this case a wind farm. A comparison between the results from the model and measured data taken near the North Hoyle wind farm in North Wales, UK is provided.
