Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

A model of decameter-decimeter radio wave propagation in a strongly inhomogeneous mid-latitude ionosphere is constructed using a modified method of radio wave refractive scattering. The model establishes the relationship between the basic statistical radio wave characteristics and the turbulence parameters of the upper ionosphere. Different aspects of the theory of radio wave refractive scattering are considered in application to the study of amplitude and phase fluctuations of decameter-decimeter radio waves propagating in a three-dimensional randomly inhomogeneous ionosphere with an arbitrary electron density distribution.
