    Tyeryar, Keith AllenVirginia Tech1993

    … this thesis, an analysis of the scattering of a rough perfect electric conductor (PEC) surface under illumination by a Gaussian beam using the Kirchhoff approximation is presented. The analysis assumes a source distribution which yields a Gaussian beam solution as a radiated field. This field is …

  6. Rough Surface Scattering and Propagation over Rough Terrain in Ducting Environments

    Awadallah, Ra'id S.Virginia Tech1998

    The problem of rough surface scattering and propagation over rough terrain in ducting environments has been receiving considerable attention in the literature. One popular method of modeling this problem is the parabolic wave equation (PWE) method. In this method, the Helmholtz wave equation is …

  7. Effect of correlation between shadowing and shadowed points in rough surface scattering

    Kapp, David AnthonyVirginia Tech1993

    Shadowing of random surfaces is accounted for by multiplying the Kirchhoff electric current density by a shadowing function. The shadow-corrected incoherent intensity is computed in the backscatter direction and is found to be proportional to the probability of a specular point being illuminated …
