Scattering of electromagnetic waves from randomly moving and rough non-planar surfaces
Abstract
The application of the reformulated current method to scattering from smooth moving surfaces was investigated. The applicability of several methods for the study of scattering from rough, stationary surfaces was also examined. In the reformulated current method, the moving surface was replaced by equivalent current sources; the motion was retained in these sources. Both deterministic and non-deterministic motion were assumed. The surfaces considered were a sphere and infinitely long cylinder. For non-deterministic motion, the mean of the electromagnetic field was obtained. An infinite integral transform was used to investigate wave scattering from a rough cylinder in which the surface was characterized in terms of its surface impedance. Two types of polarization are treated. A similar procedure is applied to a rough sphere.
