Abstract
Results from the first three terms of the small-slope approximation (SSA) for incoherent electromagnetic scattering from a penetrable randomly rough interface are discussed. Surface roughness is characterized as a Gaussian random process with an isotropic Gaussian correlation function. Sample results illustrate parameter spaces for which each correction term is appreciable. Reduction of the SSA to the physical optics theory is also discussed for both perfectly conducting and dielectric surfaces.
