Scattering from dielectric random fractal surfaces via method of moments

This paper presents the rationale for the use of method of moments (MoM) fo r evaluation of electromagnetic field scattered by dielectric random fracta l surfaces, Derivation of the algorithm is given along with a reliable frac tal profile generation procedure, Numerical results are compared and valida ted against those obtained under the hypotheses of the small perturbation s cattering theory, available together with the applicability limits in the c urrent literature. Choice of key parameters pertinent to MoM is also discus sed. Numerical results are finally used to investigate the behavior of the electromagnetic scattering from fractal surfaces.
