Numerical simulation bistatic scattering from three-dimensional conducting rough surface with forward–backward method-based vector basic functions

To more really simulate distribution of vector-induced currents along a three-dimensional (3-D) conducting rough surface, it is better for vector basic functions to be used to describe the vector-induced currents. The forward-backward method (FBM) has been further developed to be combined with the vector basic functions to numerically calculate 3-D conducting rough surface scattering problem in this paper, meanwhile, the FBM is first well explained through some matrix forms. The FBM has been used to numerically simulate the bistatic scattering from 3-D conducting rough surface. Some numerical results have been discussed in the paper.
