title = "3-D Bistatic Scattering from Fractal Surface Using Extended Boundary Condition Method",
abstract = "We develop the extended boundary condition method (EBCM) to solve the 3-D vector electromagnetic scattering problem from natural bare soil surfaces. Natural surfaces are modeled by the Weierstrass-Mandelbrot fractal surface (FS) that is widely recognized as the most accurate model to describe the natural surfaces properties. The EBCM-FS is developed based on the equivalence theorem that has no limitation on surface roughness in principle. The EBCM-FS is applied to simulate the bistatic scattering cross sections of Mars religoth surfaces. The numerical performance of the EBCM-FS has an equation system much smaller than the numerical method. Solving an equation system including 105 Floquet modes takes 5.4 s for one realization. These properties are expected to make the EBCM-FS as a competitive forward solver to give a better understanding of the measurements of L-band radar returns from Martian surfaces.",
