On the reflection of a radiowave beam from a plasma layer with large-scale inhomogeneities

Using the method of parabolic equation (MPE), we obtain transfer equations for the mean field, the space-coherence function, and the ray intensity of a radiowave beam as it is reflected from a plasma layer with random inhomogeneities. The general solutions of these equations are found. Special atten...

description Using the method of parabolic equation (MPE), we obtain transfer equations for the mean field, the space-coherence function, and the ray intensity of a radiowave beam as it is reflected from a plasma layer with random inhomogeneities. The general solutions of these equations are found. Special attention is given to the case of radiowave beam reflection from a linear plasma layer with large-scale electron-density inhomogeneities. If a weakly directed transceiving SW antenna is used, the shortwave scattering can lead to a pronounced (of the order of 3 dB) decrease in the intensity of a vertical-sounding signal reflected from the ionospheric F2 layer only under the conditions of abnormally strong ionospheric electron-density perturbations.[PUBLICATION ABSTRACT]
