Abstract

We consider the spatial statistical characteristics of an HF signal and the interdependence of the correlation functions of the field amplitude and phase in the case of oblique reflection from the ionosphere. The amplitude and phase parameters are expressed either in terms of the parameter β of ionospheric turbidity, which can be determined most easily, or only in terms of the correlation coefficient of amplitudes at different points. We obtain the expressions for the amplitude and phase correlation functions, which describe well the experimental data.
