We consider the Helmholtz equation in the half space and suggest two methods for determining the boundary impedance from knowledge of the far field pattern of the time-harmonic incident wave. We introduce a potential for which the far field patterns in specially selected directions represent its Fourier coefficients. The boundary impedance is then calculated from the potential by an explicit formula or from the WKB approximation. Numerical examples are given to demonstrate efficiency of the approaches. We also discuss the validity of the WKB approximation in determining the impedance of an obstacle.
