In [1], we used energy arguments to deduce various results for the problem of acoustic scattering of a plane wave by an infinite one-dimensional rough surface, S, defined by z=s(x) with -h≤s(x)≤0 for all x. Some of the results must be modified as was pointed out by Kazandjian [3, this volume]. Let

✦ Synopsis
A plane acoustic wave insonifies an infinite rough surface. The reflected field is written as an angular-spectrum representation (plane-wave expansion), with an unknown amplitude function A. It is pointed out that A must be considered as a generalized function, and not as a continuous function. Various decompositions of A are suggested and analysed. Energy considerations lead to relations between the coefficients in these decompositions, generalizing some known results for scattering by periodic surfaces (gratings). It is shown that the reflected field must include at least one propagating plane wave.

## Abstract In this paper, we consider the Dirichlet and impedance boundary value problems for the Helmholtz equation in a non‐locally perturbed half‐plane. These boundary value problems arise in a study of time‐harmonic acoustic scattering of an incident field by a sound‐soft, infinite rough surfa
