Numerical study of scattering from rough inhomogeneous films

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

We adapt the differential method to the study of scattering from randomly rough inhomogeneous films, and we extend the application domain of the surface-integral method to rough surfaces with many embedded scatterers. These methods are compared in the case of geometries in which both volume and surface scattering occur. A good agreement is obtained, and the advantages and drawbacks of each technique are pointed out. The angular scattering from rough inhomogeneous structures corresponding to models of snowcover in the radio-frequency domain or paints in the optical domain is shown.
