4.0 out of 5 stars A very good introduction to EM Scattering, August 8, 2000
By 
Frank Bierbrauer (Cardiff, Wales, UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: The Scattering of Electromagnetic Waves from Rough Surfaces (Artech House Radar Library) (Hardcover)
An introduction to electromagnetic rough surface scattering in the high frequency domain. Its an old text and there are numerous errors in printing as I found out when using it for research work, but nonetheless a good introduction, its clear and not too advanced in contrast to other texts which seem to thrive on jumping into difficult analysis without preparation. It covers many areas in rough surface scattering and uses both analytic functions for the surface and later a random function approach. The random function approach has now become standard and misses some of the interesting aspects and details in the earlier one eg fractal surfaces etc.

The book after introducing the characteristic aspects of EM scattering then proceeds onto practical engineering aspects such as remote sensing and the like. This was of course brand new at the time, 1963. For a modern review see the book by J.A. Ogilvy "Theory of Wave Scattering from Random Rough Surfaces" which covers the new approaches to the subject since the 60's.

Still an excellent book for the basics of EM scattering although one has to work through some of the results to be certain they are correct.
