With the rapid and wide-spread use of mobile communications much attention has been focussed on propagation in the urban area crowed with buildings. It is often surrounded by hills, forests, and mountains. The importance of surface scattering interference between transmitters and receivers on the rough surfaces has been interested and investigated. Therefore, a prediction method is necessary to estimate the influence of rough surfaces on microwave radio propagation. Moreover, most of the mobile communications are performed based on the digital communication system rather than the analog one. In this case, we must pay more careful attention to the signal delay caused by the phase delay due to the multi-path propagation. In this paper we have analyzed numerically scattering of electromagnetic waves from Composite structures by using FVTD (Finite Volume Time Domain) method. We consider two different types of rough surfaces such as periodic and composite structures.
