Code 10.4: I2EM Backscattering from Periodic Sinusoidal Surface

Code Name: I2EM_Periodic.m

Description: Code computes σ0 pqfor a sinusoidal periodic surface with a random smaller-scale component.

Input Variables:

  ε = ε' - jε'':    Dielectric constant of the scattering medium (unitless)

Correlation function of random component:
(1) Exponential
(2) Gaussian

  s:    rms height of random component (m)
  l:    Correlation length of random component (m)
  Λ:    Spatial period of periodic sinusoid (m)
  A:    Amplitude of periodic sinusoid (m)
  f:    Frequency (GHz)
  Θ0:    Incidence angle (degrees)
  ɸ0:    Azimuth angle (Fig. 10-24) (degrees)

Output Products: σ0 pq (Θ0,ɸ0)

Book Reference: Section 10-4.2
