Synopsis

This book explores the scattering of electromagnetic energy from a rough surface due to randomly distributed scattering dipoles. The approach is based on the fundamental principles of electromagnetism and introduces scattering dipoles as a representation for the surface roughness. The author examines the scattered energy in both two and three dimensions for both horizontal and vertical polarizations. They present a novel postulate of additive behavior of energy scattered by the dipoles to simplify calculations. The results obtained provide valuable insights into the scattering process and can be applied to practical problems involving electromagnetic wave propagation over rough surfaces, such as the reflection of radio waves from the sea. This book contributes to the understanding of electromagnetic wave interactions with rough surfaces and has significant implications for areas such as radar, remote sensing, and telecommunications.
