Abstract

The scattering of a TE-polarized electromagnetic wave from a metallic cylinder with a slightly random rough surface is studied by means of the stochastic functional approach. The incoherent scattering distribution can be calculated from the Wiener coefficients up to the second order and demonstrates the enhanced backscattering peak, which is attributed to the participation of the surface plasmon waves supported by the cylindrical metal surface as the intermediate scattering processes in multiple scattering.
