The scattering amplitude functions of a spatially-oriented chiral spheroid are derived. Polarimetric scattering from a layer of nonuniformly oriented chirally-active spheroids in the Mueller matrix solution is obtained. Co-polarized and de-polarized backscattering and polarization degree for any polarized incidence are numerically calculated. Transmissions of coherent waves with four Stokes parameters through the layer are also discussed. Comparisons of polarimetric scattering from the chiral and achiral particulate media demonstrate the chirality effect on wave scattering and transmission.

A stochastic functional approach (SFA) is developed to calculate electromagnetic composite scattering from a three-dimensional perfectly electric conducting (PEC) target on a randomly rough PEC surface. The stochastic Green's function for randomly rough surface is derived, and a novel four-path model is presented to describe the scattering mechanism of target-surface interactions. The SFA is used to obtain the difference scattering cross section due to the rough surface of target. As a simple example of a spherical target with rough surface, the SFA is numerically compared with other numerical approaches, showing its accuracy and effectiveness. Finally, the difference bistatic scattering from a complex electric large target with rough surface and its functional dependence on the parameters are discussed.

Propagation and localization of cylindrical wave in a two-dimensional isotropic and homogeneous random medium is studied. By expanding the random permittivity fluctuation in the form of a Wiener integral equation in the frequency domain, and representing the wave fields by a linear combination of outgoing and incoming waves, the scalar Helmholtz equation is solved by means of stochastic functional approach to obtain the analytical expression of cylindrical wave. The spatial wave energy distribution is derived to demonstrate the localization phenomenon, and the localization length is also calculated. Compared with the waves in non-random medium, the wave transfer equation between plane wave and cylindrical wave in random medium shows an additional exponential factor to indicate the modulation effects due to the medium randomness in both the amplitude and the phase. Numerical simulations are presented to illustrate the functional dependence of the localization phenomenon.
