Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

Assuming that in grazing propagation the field above an irregular surface results from diffraction by a screen with an irregular edge, we estimate the average values of dispersion, space correlation, and the angular power spectrum in the region of the penumbra and transition to the illuminated region of space. The statistical properties of the field calculated using this method are shown to be in qualitative agreement with experimental results.
