Numerical methods are of great importance in the study of electromagnetic scattering from
random rough surfaces. This review provides an overview of rough surface scattering and …

First, the rough surface scattering problem is formulated from a statistical point of view. Then,
different numerical schemes that permit one to solve Maxwell equations without …

In Holliday et al.(1995, 1996), the iterative forward-backward (FB) method has been
proposed to solve the magnetic field integral equation (MFIE) for smooth one-dimensional (1 …

Active and passive microwave remote sensing has been used for monitoring the soil
moisture and snow water equivalent. In the interactions of microwaves with bare soil, the …

The small-perturbation method (SPM) for rough surface scattering, originally derived by Rice
[Commun. Pure Appl. Math. 4, 361 (1951)], has been applied extensively to problems in …

In this paper we revisit the absorption and thermal emission of electromagnetic radiation by
a rough surface. We use a numerical simulation of the absorptivity of a grating to explore the …

A three-axis automated scatterometer (TAAS) with a high accuracy goniometric table, a fiber-
coupled power stabilized diode laser, and a large dynamic range detector has been …

Typical applications of the method of moments (MoM) to rough surface three-dimensional (3-
D) electromagnetic scattering require a truncation of the surface considered and call for a …

A domain decomposition-finite difference time domain (DD-FDTD) method is proposed to
solve the problem of electromagnetic scattering from very large rough surfaces. The entire …

A new model for rough surface scattering is presented; the model has a form similar to the
small slope approximation (SSA) of Voronovich, but with modified kernel functions. As with …
