Abstract :
This paper describes a Gapfiller concept solution to mitigate the potential negative effect from a wind farm upon a military surveillance radar system. The problem is described as well as the technical solution to mitigate the problem. This paper does not describe signal processing techniques that can be applied to the main surveillance radar, but it describes some important technical requirements and a Gapfiller solution that can be used to complement a surveillance radar system. The application of a Gapfiller deployed within an offshore wind farm is described and other relevant applications are suggested.
