Abstract

In this work we use the theory of electromagnetic wave scattering by clusters of spherical particles in order to investigate the enhanced backscattering effect for a rare medium consisting of identical chaotically oriented clusters. The scattering characteristics of individual clusters are calculated precisely, whereas the coherent component of scattered radiation is considered as interference of second-order scattered waves between individual scatters of different clusters. The noncoherent component of scattered waves is calculated with help of the well known equation of scalar transfer theory
