Abstract :
The generalized spectral Fourier method is applied to the investigation of scattering of plane electromagnetic waves from rough oscillating surfaces. The surface is characterised in terms of surface impedance formulation. The relationships between radar cross section and the spatial and temporal spectrum of the surface are obtained. The backscatter radar cross section is determined using phillips ocean scatter.
