Reflection and transmission of plane waves at the interface between anisotropic random discrete media

摘要

The Maxwell equations are solved for a random discrete medium using the single-scattering approximation and the condition of immersion in a maximally packed medium. The reflection and transmission factors of plane waves at the interface between vacuum and a random discrete anisotropic medium are determined. The calculated and experimental results on reflection and transmission of plane waves near the edge of a forest as an example of natural anisotropy of a random discrete medium are compared.
