The two terms ‘glint’ and ‘glare’ refer to the unwanted reflection of the sun’s rays by the face of a reflective surface. The terms are defined below, based on definitions [...]
Interference overview New building structures have the capability to degrade the integrity of television signals as they travel through free space from transmitter to a receiving aerial or satellite dish. [...]
Across the globe tens of GWs of wind turbine development have been hindered by stringent radar safeguarding criteria. Especially long range Air Defence Radar are often the source of sustained [...]
In the UK it is almost industry standard for solar panels to have a southwards orientation with the aim to ‘absorb’ as much of the incoming solar energy as possible. Orientating [...]
To date the biggest aviation concern for solar developers with respect to aviation activity has been the effect of glint and glare on aircraft and Air Traffic Control (ATC) personnel. [...]
Aeronautical radio systems are used for communications between air traffic controllers and pilots. They are referred to as Air Ground Air (AGA) systems and operate in the Very High Frequency [...]
Most of us will have experienced the effects of electromagnetic interference (EMI) at some point in our day to day lives. The clicking sound heard from speakers when receiving a [...]
I am planning to build a wind farm in the UK. I am aware that wind turbines can affect civil and military airports, radar and radio systems. How can I [...]
Announcement of the successful Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) trial of the Radar-Activated Obstruction Lighting System by Laufer Wind recently, brings wind turbine lighting and aeronautical safeguarding to the forefront of [...]
Solar panels absorb light really well, but they can also reflect it. These PV reflections, commonly causing Glint and Glare effects, can cause nuisance and safety concerns to a number [...]
