Backscattering of the electromagnetic missile from an irregular surface

The scattering of an electromagnetic missile (EMM) with energy decreasing as r/sup -4/ from a perfectly conducting irregular surface is analyzed. The mean scattered power is derived. It is shown that the rate of the average energy decay for the backscattering field far from the irregular surface is proportional to r/sup -4/, which is the same as that for plate scattering.<
