Abstract
In this chapter the main effects of wind turbines on the performance of radar systems have been explained. The radar signature of wind turbine clutter is unique and then, it requires a special treatment when developing mitigation techniques. WTC clutter remains spatially static, but it fluctuates continuously in time. In surveillance radars the return from wind turbines can be completely different from one scan to the following. In addition, apart from the powerful tower return, the movement of blades produces large Doppler shifts. Some of the latest mitigation techniques have been described; however, a more extensive study has to be accomplished. As future research, novel automatic detection techniques as well as accurate mitigation schemes in scanning radars have been planned to be developed.
