Abstract
An integration methodology Is presented for computing fields backscatt ered bg the cylinder-ground double bounce scattering mechanism, in whi ch randomly tilted, finite length dielectric cylinders stand on a slig htly rough lossy surface. Based on the Stratton-Chu integral technique , incorporating exact solutions of fields scattered by the cylinders, the method yields like- and cross-polarized responses and polarization phase differences. Numerical results are reported.
