An efficient approach to compute the near-field distribution around and within a wind farm under plane wave excitation is proposed. To make the problem computationally tractable, several simplifying assumptions are made based on the geometry problem. By comparing the approximations against full-wave simulations at 500MHz, it is shown that the assumptions do not introduce significant errors into the resulting near-field distribution.The near fields around a 3 × 3 wind farm are computed using the developed methodology at 150MHz, 500MHz, and 3GHz. Both the multipath interference patterns and the forward shadows are predicted by the proposed method. Available online: http://dx.doi.org/10.1155/2013/105071
