The problem of electromagnetic scattering from a statistically rough surface bounding a uniform, finitely conducting medium of infinite extent is treated in the Kirchhoff approximation. Both intensity and polarization of the scattered wave is considered. Explicit formulas are obtained for the special case of a normally distributed surface. Comparison is made with previous results obtained by other authors under the assumption of infinite conductivity.
