Abstract
Further development of the method of transionospheric radiosounding of the ionosphere in the range of its plasma frequencies is presented. The trajectories of radiowaves with a reflection from the Earth are newly included in the consideration. A modeling of the transionospheric radiosounding was performed in conditions of an irregular ionosphere including moderate-dimensional irregularities with drawing possible trajectories, as well as the obtainment and analysis of the corresponding transionograms.
