Bistatic scattering from a fractal dynamic rough sea surface with a ship presence at at low grazing-angle incidence using the GFBM/SAA

A generalized forward-backward method (GFBM) with the spectral accelerated algorithm (SAA) to solve the magnetic-field integral equation (MFIE) is dev eloped. It is applied to the numerical simulation of bistatic scattering fr ont a one-dimensional (1-D) fractal dynamic sea surface with a ship presenc e under TE tapered ware incidence at a low grazing angle (LGA). Numerical s imulations of bistatic scattering at an LGA shuts the functional dependence upon the fractal dimension of the conducting rough surface, ship location, and other parameters.
