Abstract
Acoustic-signal backscattering by fixed discrete inhomogeneities randomly situated on a plane is modeled. The following effects are detected experimentally and discussed: the effect on backscattering intensity of coherent reflection from a weakly reflecting substrate, the collective effect associated with correlation of the scatterer locations, and the effect of multiple scattering with high inhomogeneity concentrations.
