A new unified full wave approach to evaluate the scatter cross sections of composite random rough surfaces

A new unified approach, based on the original full wave solutions, is presented to evaluate the like and cross polarized scattering cross sections of composite (multiple scale) random rough surfaces. The rough surfaces are assumed to be characterized by the Pieson-Moskowitz spectral density function. To account for the surface undulations, the incoherent radar cross sections are obtained by regarding the composite rough surface as an ensemble of pixels of arbitrary orientation.
