Beschreibung:
A bi-iterative physical optics (PO) method is presented in this letter to investigate the composite scattering from a perfectly electric conducting object partially buried in the dielectric rough sea surface. In the present method, both the scatterings of a partially buried object and the underlying sea surface are calculated by the PO method. And a bi-iterative strategy is considered, including the mutual interaction among points on the object in direct scattering and the mutual interaction between the object and the sea surface in coupling scattering. In addition, the coupling interaction between the partially buried object and the sea surface contains two parts: 1) the upper surface of the sea surface and the upper part of the object and 2) the lower surface of sea surface and the lower part of the object. In numerical simulations, the bistatic normalized radar cross sections of the composite model are computed by the bi-iterative PO method and are compared with those by the conventional method of moments for different object types and polarizations. The results show that the proposed method has a good accuracy and can greatly reduce the computational time and memory requirement.
