Popis: A remote-sensing technique based on microwave interferometry is applied to dynamic testing of wind turbine towers for power generation. A high-speed interferometric radar is able to sample the structure at a rate high enough for modal and transient analysis. An experimental campaign is reported carried out on wind turbine towers of a power plant in north Sardinia, Italy.
