Scattering from rough surfaces using the “shooting and bouncing rays” technique

  • Published:
Wuhan University Journal of Natural Sciences

Abstract

The “shooting and bouncing rays” (SBR) technique is used to analyze the electromagnetic scattering characters of ocean rough surfaces varying with time. Some numerical results are presented and compared with the method of moments, and some factors, such as the incident angle, polarization and frequency are investigated which influence on electromagnetic scattering characters of ocean rough surfaces.
