Abstract :
A problem of scattering from some buried inclusions under a rough boundary has been considered. The angular backscattering for various relations between the wavelength and distance between inclusions, depth from the boundary and various parameters of the rough boundary has been investigated. It is shown that the diffraction from the inclusions leads to the essential features of the backscattering intensity
