Abstract
The present paper deals with the scattering of an obliquely polarized electromagnetic (EM) wave from a slightly rough surface, which is assu med to be a two-dimensional (2D), homogeneous and isotropic Gaussian r andom field. In contrast to the cases of TE(s) and TM(p) polarized inc idence, the scattering profile for an obliquely polarized incidence is not symmetric with respect to the incident plane, despite the fact th at the random surface is statistically isotropic.
