Abstract

This paper presents the multiple sweep method of moments (MSMM) analysis of scattering from targets on ocean-like sea surfaces, and is, to our knowledge, the first attempt to numerically solve three dimensional (3D) targets on the ocean-like rough surfaces. Our results show that the MSMM converges for problems that the method of ordered multiple interactions (MOMI) (and forward-backward method) fails to converge.
