Abstract
Electromagnetic scattering from an inhomogeneous medium with a one-dim ensional rough interface is analysed. The proposed procedure combines the finite element method (FEM), to model the electromagnetic field in the inhomogeneous region, with a perturbative technique to account fo r the contributions due to the rough interface. Backscattering and bis tatic scattering coefficients are computed and plotted for both plane wave and Gaussian beam incident fields in the case of TM(z) polarizati on.
