  • Abstract
    In this paper a Kirchhoff-based model is employed to determine the scattering from natural surfaces. Natural (rough) surfaces are described by means of the fractional Brownian motion (fBm) model since this has been demonstrated to be particularly suitable. The theoretical model is presented and illustrated also by means of comparisons with classical ones.
