The scattering of a spherical wave by a static irregular dielectric surface, separating two subspaces with dielectric constant close to the permittivity of free space, is investigated by the Kirchhoff method. The irregularities of the surface — large-scale with small angles of inclination, and their heights are distributed according to a normal law. Self-shadowing and the set of spots associated with scattering on such a surface are taken into account. The polarization matrix of second moments of the components of the scattered field is calculated. The dependence of the matrix elements on the statistical parameters of a randomly irregular surface are discussed.
