METHODOLOGY a windmill are presented. In-situ measurement data of an 18- blade windmill are collected using an ultra-wideband radar. The A. Measurement Synopsis measured signatures are compared to simulation results based In-situ measurements were made at a local windmill in on physical optics. The backscattering phenomenology is Cedar Park, Texas using the Time Domain ultra-wideband examined in the sinogram, spectrogram, and ISAR image domains. In addition, a composite image is generated from radar system. Two dual-ridged broadband horns were used as multiple ISAR snapshots to reveal the entire windmill structure. transmitting and receiving antennas. The radar emits short pulses at a pulse repetition frequency of 10 MHz with an Index Terms鈥擶ind farm, radar, radar imaging. equivalent frequency bandwidth from 3.1 to 5.3 GHz. The I.
