SUMMARY

The discussion focuses on using field distribution to derive the angular distribution of a scattered field from a rough surface. The participant references the Rayleigh Roughness criterion, stating that the surface behaves specularly at low grazing angles, specifically when the RMS height of hills is less than λ/(8 x cos Θ), where Θ is the angle of incidence. A relevant article on rough surface scattering models is provided for further reading.

PREREQUISITES
  • Understanding of Rayleigh Roughness criterion
  • Knowledge of angular distribution in wave scattering
  • Familiarity with field distribution analysis
  • Basic principles of wave propagation and reflection
NEXT STEPS
  • Research the Rayleigh Roughness criterion in detail
  • Study angular distribution techniques in wave scattering
  • Explore field distribution analysis methods
  • Investigate rough surface scattering models and their applications
USEFUL FOR

Researchers in optics, physicists studying wave scattering, and engineers working with rough surface interactions will benefit from this discussion.

I study the reflection from a rough surface and get the field as the attached figure
my question
can I use the field distribution to get the angular distribution of the scattered field and how can I project the field to plane waves?

Re your last question, for a given reflected ray, the wave vibrates at right angles to the direction of travel.
