Title
Electromagnetic scattering measurements on a fractal surface.
Abstract
In this paper we present a procedure devoted to validate innovative theories on the electromagnetic scattering from natural surfaces, using fractal functions for the surface description. A fractal surface has been built as a superposition of cardboard and aluminium layers, according with a computer design based on the Weierstrass-Mandelbrot (WM) fractal function. Its statistical properties have been verified with optical measurements. The electromagnetic field scattered at X band from the built surface has been measured in controlled environment as a function of the incidence angle. Obtained results have been compared with those of the Kirchhoff Approximation (KA) and the Small Perturbation Method (SPM) in conjunction with the fractional Brownian motion (fBm). Congruence and discrepancies of measured data with theoretical results are discussed, providing a validation of the methods
