Transformation of Rice's Small Perturbation Results for Rough Surface Scattering into a Comprehensive Single Scatter Solution that Includes Physical and Geometrical Optics

Abstract

Using a straightforward two-step procedure, Rice's original small perturbation solution to rough surface scattering is transformed into a comprehensive single scatter solution, that includes the small perturbation and the physical/geometrical optics solutions. The first involves a phase restoration and the second involves subjecting the surface element scattering coefficients to the principle of invariance to coordinate transformations.
