In this book, the Method of Moments (MoM) is applied to compute thefield scattered by scatterers such as canonical objects (cylinderor plate) or a randomly rough surface, and also by an object aboveor below a random rough surface. Since the problem is considered tobe 2D, the integral equations (IEs) are scalar and only the TE(transverse electric) and TM (transverse magnetic) polarizationsare addressed (no cross-polarizations occur). In Chapter 1, the MoMis applied to convert the IEs into a linear system, while Chapter 2compares the MoM with the exact solution of the field scattered bya cylinder in free space, and with the Physical Optics (PO)approximation for the scattering from a plate in free space.Chapter 3 presents numerical results, obtained from the MoM, of thecoherent and incoherent intensities scattered by a random roughsurface and an object below a random rough surface. The finalchapter presents the same results as in Chapter 3, but for anobject above a random rough surface. In these last two chapters,the coupling between the two scatterers is also studied in detailby inverting the impedance matrix by blocks.
