The coherent electromagnetic wave scattered from a conducting cylinder surrounded by turbulent media is expressed in an analytic form through the two analyses of current characteristics on the cylinder and of wave propagation in random media. Turbulence effects on backscattering characteristics of the coherent wave are made clear numerically for changing the cylinder size and the polarization of incident waves.

A method is presented for analyzing the scalar wave scattering from a conducting target of arbitrary shape in random media for both the Dirichlet and Neumann problems. The current generators on the target are introduced and expressed generally by the Yasuura method. When using the current generators, the scattering problem is reduced to the wave propagation problem in random media.

The coherent E-wave scattered from a conducting cylinder surrounded by turbulence is analyzed by application of a new theory. Turbulence effects on back-scattering characteristics of the coherent wave are made clear numerically.
