Abstract
A phenomenological model is proposed and implemented for calculating the electrodynamic and radiative characteristics of a small-scale statistically rough surface. Elements of the theory of excursions of a random field are used, providing a simple means for determining the effective parameters of the transition layer from the given characteristics of the random surface. A numerical example is discussed, illustrating the main functional dependences of radiation from a Gaussian surface with a broad spectrum of roughness elements (corrugations). Restrictions are not imposed on the slopes of the corrugations.
