Abstract
Using a first-order vector perturbation theory, we calculate some scattering characteristics of surfaces which have both surface roughness and subsurface permittivity variations. These variations are treated as random variables where the roughness yields phase perturbations and the permittivity variations yield reflectance perturbations. Numerical results are given for both types of scattering.Keywords
