Radar cross section calculation of a wind turbine modeled by PEC canonical structures

Wind turbines are electrically large and complex objects that act as scatterer for electromagnetic waves. Thus, they may cause performance degradation for radar systems. Radar simulations are useful tools to obtain suitable wind turbine sites around radar bases. Radar cross section (RCS) calculation is an important step in radar simulations. In this work, RCS of a wind turbine which is modeled by canonical structures is calculated analytically and validated with Physical Optics (PO) method.
