            Abstract : 
The validity of the Kirchhoff approximation and IEM model for rough perfect conducting surface scattering is examined by comparison with simulation results obtained by solving integral equations. First, the surface current and scattered field of approximation for surfaces with different surface length, different root-mean-square surface height and wavelength is compared with solving integral equations. Then, the scattering coefficients calculated from the approximation and Monte Carlo simulation are compared.
