The EM scattering from one-dimensionally lossy fractal surfaces

  • Published:
Wuhan University Journal of Natural Sciences

Abstract

The EM scattering from rough surface has been investigated in the past years. Periodic and random models are often used in modeling the rough surface. Recently, the fractal geometry is rapidly improved. It provides a new way to model the rough surface whose characteristics are long-range order and short-range disorder. In this paper, A fractal function is used to model the rough surface. A scattering coefficient for calculating the angular distribution and the amount of energy in the spectrally scattering field to the fractal characteristics of the surfaces by finding their analytical expressions is derived by using the Kirchhoff solution. In the end, we calculate some scattering patterns.
