Abstract

The backscattering of electromagnetic radiation from rough dielectric layers with strong reflectors is studied both theoretically and experimentally. The retroreflected intensity is calculated as a function of the angle of incidence for different polarizations and different parameters of layers. It is shown that the interference pattern is extremely sensitive to the long-scale component of the roughness. The theoretical results are in a good agreement with the measurements of light scattering. The results are discussed in the context of microwave subsurface remote sensing.
