We treat the stability of determining the boundary impedance of an obstacle by scattering data, with a single incident field. A previous result by Sincich (SIAM J. Math. Anal. 38, (2006), 434-451) showed a log stability when the boundary of the obstacle is assumed to be $C^{1,1}$-smooth. We prove that, when the obstacle boundary is merely Lipschitz, a log-log type stability still holds.
Keywords: impedance boundary condition, stability., Inverse scattering problem.
