Abstract
We introduces an iterative method for scattering a two-dimensional scalar wave from a rough interface between two media. The method is applicable to the case of electromagnetic scattering from a rough metallic or dielectric surface that varies only in one dimension. The first iteration is equivalent to the Kirchhoff approximation, and the series converges in one step for a flat surface. We discuss the conditions for convergence, and find that they are similar to those which Meecham showed to be necessary in the Dirichlet case.
