Abstract
Scintillation of radio signals passing through the solar corona is considered. An expression describing the dynamic spectrum of these scintillations on the basis of multibeam propagation of radio waves is derived. Properties of the analytically calculated spectrum are shown to coincide with zebra-structure properties of solar radio bursts. It is determined that the time profile of the scintillations caused by multibeam propagation may appear as impulses of emission or absorption or may have a sawtooth form. It is concluded that assuming specific emission source features is not the only way to explain the zebra structure, since the effect of multibeam propagation of radio waves through the solar corona and interplanetary space yields a simple explanation of the phenomenon discussed.
