Abstract
Interest in understanding of electromagnetic interaction with rough surfaces has prompted the study of scattering from typical dielectric humps over impedance surfaces. It is shown that the Green's function of the problem for a resistive sheet resembles that of the impedance surface. Hence both problems are considered here. A numerical solution for the scattered field of a two-dimensional dielectric object, possibly inhomogeneous, with arbitrary cross section above the impedance surface or resistive sheet is sought. First the Green's function of the problem is derived based on the exact image theory. This form of the Green's function is amenable to numerical computation. Then the induced polarization currents are calculated by casting the integral equations into a matrix equation via the method of moments. Numerical problems in calculation of the Green's function when both source and observation points are close to the surface are discussed. Comparison of numerical results with a perturbation solution shows excellent agreement between the two methods.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
