Abstract
A wind measurement apparatus comprises: cover and base portions arranged to allow for airflow therebetween; N receivers on the cover portion; a transmitter on the cover portion at a substantially equal distance from each of the N receivers; and a reflector assembly on the base portion. The reflector assembly is divided into N concave reflector portions. Each receiver is associated with one of the reflector portions. The reflector assembly and the base portion are disposed such that the transmitter is spatially aligned with a center point of the reflector assembly and each receiver is spatially aligned with the associated reflector portion. The transmitter is arranged to transmit a TX beam towards the reflector assembly such that the TX beam meets each of the reflector portions. Each of the receivers is arranged to receive, via the associated reflector portion, a reflection of a TX beam portion that meets the reflector portion.
