摘要
An efficient approach is proposed to analyze the electromagnetic scattering from objects above a 2-D perfectly electric conducting rough surface. A half-space Green's function with the rough-surface interface is first derived from the Kirchhoff approximation (KA). The method of moments is then applied to analyze the scattering problem of 3-D arbitrarily shaped objects above the rough surface. Since only the objects need to be discretized, the computational time and memory requirement are greatly reduced. The radar cross sections of typical objects above the rough surface have been computed using the proposed method. Numerical results show that the proposed method has good accuracy in the valid range of KA.
