Bistatic scattering from one-dimensional random rough homogeneous layers in the high-frequency limit with shadowing effect

摘要

Many fast asymptotic models of electromagnetic scattering from a single rough interface have been developed over the last few years, but only a few have been developed on stacks of rough interfaces. The specific case of very rough surfaces, compared to the incident wavelength, has not been treated before, which is the context of this paper. The model starts from the iteration of the Kirchhoff approximation to calculate the fields scattered by a rough layer, and is reduced to the high-frequency limit in order to rapidly obtain numerical results. The shadowing effect, important under grazing angles, is taken into account. The model can be applied to any given slope statistics. Then, the model is compared with a reference numerical method based on the method of moments, which validates the model in the high-frequency limit for lossless and lossy inner media.
