Wave scattering by a strongly elongated irregularity

Radiophysics and Quantum Electronics Aims and scope

Abstract

We consider the problem of single scattering by a strongly elongated irregularity which is located in the near zone with respect to the coordinate along its major axis and in the far zone with respect to the transverse coordinates. Expressions describing the scattered-wave field are obtained by applying the stationary-phase method for integration over the longitudinal coordinate in the formula for single scattering. We present some results of modeling of the scattered-wave intensity based on the obtained formula as applied to meteor-burst propagation of radio waves.
