Abstract

In a series of papers, the first in 1994, Sánchez-Gil et al [1] and in 1997 Madrazo and Maradudin [2] studied the scattering of electromagnetic waves from a wave guide film on a perfect conductor with a random rough surface. They found the enhanced backscattering and satellite peaks in the incoherent part of the mean differential reflection coefficient (DRC) as a function of the scattering angle when the system supports several guided waves modes.
