Abstract
In this paper use of available geometrical models for stochastic surfaces within the electromagnetic scattering theory is presented. Classical and fractals models are introduced. The following discussion focuses on the geometrical models complexity, accuracy and applicability to analytically achieve closed form solutions of the scattered field.
