Abstract
A hysteresis effect is discovered in the dependence of the scattering cross section of artificial ionospheric inhomogeneities on the intensity of the radio waves exciting them. The thresholds for the excitation and cutoff of the plasma instability are determined and the dependence of the magnitude of its fluctuations on the power of the exciting transmitter is established.
