Abstract :
The previously developed forward-backward method for calculating scattering from perfectly conducting azimuthally homogeneous surfaces is extended to imperfect conductors, where the dielectric constant has a large imaginary part such as sea water at X-band (10 GHz). An example shows that highly accurate results at X-band are obtained for the case of a steepened sea wave
