Abstract

The paper derives a general formula for the scattering of electromagnetic (or sound) waves from a periodic, perfectly conducting (or perfectly rigid) surface. No restrictions are imposed on the angle of incidence, the size of the surface or the degree of roughness. Except for the basic Kirchhoff approximation, the method is exact. The results confirm, generalise or correct special cases obtained by more complicated methods.

Abstract

В статье выводится об щая формула для рассе яния электромагнитных ил и звуковых волн на периодическо й, идеально проводяще й (или жесткой) поверхности. Никакие ограничения не накла дываются на угол паде ния, размеры поверхности или ампл итуду шероховатости. Метод точен в рамках аппрок симации Кирхгоффа. Результат ы подтверждают, обобщают или исправл яют известные частны е результаты, выведенн ые более сложными метод ами.
