摘要

An analytic expression of the two-frequency mutual coherence function (MCF) was derived for a two-dimensional random rough surface. The scattered field was cal-culated by the Kirchhoff approximation, which is valid in the case that the radius of curvature of the surface is much larger than the incident wave length. The scatter-ing problem of narrowband pulse was investigated to simplify the analytic expres-sion of the two-frequency MCF. Numerical simulations show that the two-frequency MCF is greatly dependent on the root-mean-square (RMS) height, while less de-pendent on the correlation length. The analytic solutions were compared with the results of Monte Carlo simulation to assess the accuracy and computational effi-ciency.
