A Reshaping Method for Wind Turbine RCS Reduction

Abstract:

This paper presents a Radar Cross Section (RCS) reduction method for wind turbines. In the proposed method, a reshaping procedure is utilized to generate waves or bumps on the surface of the wind-turbine tower. As the tower is illuminated by electromagnetic waves, the reflected rays are perturbed by the convex structures and the RCS of the wind turbine is decreased. Test results conclude that our modeling method reduces the average RCS values. The scatterings in the directions of the convex structures are significantly declined.
