Overview Wind farm operators may be asked to pay licence fees for using data from one radar for mitigating the effects of their turbines on another radar. We discuss the [...]

Overview Many modern radar have in-built mitigation to reject the effects of wind turbines. This article considers the in-built design features that allow these radar to do this. Radar Radar [...]

Wireless Links Wireless communication systems are ubiquitous throughout the UK and many other countries. Typical uses include mobile phone networks, whereby individual masts are connected to the wider network via [...]

Developments worldwide can receive objections from numerous sources, including Air Navigation Service Providers (ANSPs). Often such objections are related to radar interference, however issues can also be raised due to [...]

Overview The DeTect Harrier Aircraft Detection Lighting System (ADLS) enables lights to be illuminated as aircraft approach a wind farm. Lights are extinguished once the aircraft leaves the area. The [...]

Background Wind turbines can have a negative impact upon radar activity. As shown in the figure below wind turbines can show up on radars as storms. Their interference can be [...]

Background The noise pollution produced by a wind farm can become a problem for local communities, developers and sponsors. While for local communities the noise can have severe negative effects [...]

Wind turbines and airports co-exist throughout the world despite the fact that wind turbines can present an obstruction risk to low flying aircraft as well as potentially affect radar systems. [...]

Overview Wind farms are where Pager Power began and we have worked on a large number of them over the years all over the world. It is always interesting to [...]

In this article we consider forms of radar interference; causes; mitigation options and management for various types of radar. Radar Interference Principles Radars transmit and receive radio signals – analysing [...]
