Electromagnetic scattering by partially buried PEC cylinder at the dielectric rough surface interface: TM case

The Gaussian rough surface with the Gaussian correlation function is used to represent the statistical rough surface. Electromagnetic scattering from a partially buried perfectly electrically conducting (PEC) cylinder at the rough surface interface between two dielectric media is solved for the case of TM wave incidence using the method of moments with point matching. The effects of surface roughness and moisture content of the soil on the bistatic scattering cross section of the partially buried PEC objects at the rough surface interface are investigated using the Monte Carlo procedure.
