Abstract

This paper reexamines reflection and transmission of a TE plane wave from a two-dimensional random slab discussed in the previous paper [IEICE Trans. Electron., Vol.E79-C, no.10, pp.1327-1333, October 1996] by means of the stochastic functional approach with the multiply renormalizing approximation. A random wavefield representation is explicitly shown in terms of a Wiener-Hermite expansion. The first-order incoherent scattering cross section and the optical theorem are numerically calculated. Enhanced scattering as gentle peaks or dips on the angular distribution of the incoherent scattering is reconfirmed in the directions of reflection and backscattering, and is newly found in the directions of forward scattering and `symmetrical forward scattering.' The mechanism of enhanced scattering is deeply discussed.
