Abstract
In this paper, the full wave expressions for the radar scattering cros s sections for two-dimensional random rough surfaces are obtained. The rough-surface height/slope correlations are accounted for in this ana lysis. Analytical and numerical comparisons of the full wave solution with the small perturbation and physical optics solutions are made for isotropic, homogeneous random rough surfaces with Gaussian probabilit y density function. The full wave results are also compared with exper imental results.
