Date 2018-12-06 Abstract Wind turbine clutter (WTC) is a difficult-to-mitigate form of interference caused by wind turbines that can appear on radars. The dynamic nature of the clutter means it occupies the same Doppler/frequency domain as is typical with atmospheric or moving target returns, and normal stationary clutter filtering techniques do not apply. While WTC has been a known issue for over a decade, the problem remains a relevant research topic within the RF and signal processing community due to the economic and public impacts. This talk will first provide a brief overview of the 2016 and 2017 EMWT symposiums, followed by a discussion of the current state of WTC research around the world. The final portion of the talk will focus on the opportunities for WTC studies at the Atmospheric Radiation Measurement (ARM) Southern Great Plains (SGP) site located within the central continental United States. SGP is home to an extensive collection of wind farms and multiple radar systems that operate at a number of frequencies and are available for collaborative research efforts.
