摘要：
Randomly rough surface patches in three dimensions are generated on the computer. The FD-TD method is used to compute scattering from surface patches by converting the Maxwell's equations into difference equations using a central difference approximation for the space and time derivatives. The volume of grids above the rough surface is divided into the total field and the scattered field regions. In between these two regions, obliquely incident waves are generated. To reduce computation, the volume of grids is chosen to be small, and a transformation is used to convert the scattered field into far zone fields for bistatic scattering coefficient calculations. Possible errors near the edge of the surface due to the use of a relatively small volume are suppressed by introducing a windowing function. Very good agreements are obtained between the results obtained by this method and those calculated by an Integral Equation Method (IEM) for scattering from randomly rough perfectly conducting and dielectric surfaces.
