HF WAVE PROPAGATION AND SCATTERING IN TURBULENT IONOSPHERE WITH ANISOTROPIC BACKGROUND

This paper discusses the question of HF wave propagation and scattering in random turbulent ionosphere with anisotropic and inhomogeneous background.Under the "Forward scattering approximation",The fluctuation of HF reflected wave caused by ionospheric irregularities is deduced.In the condition of vertical sounding,the statistical properties of the fluctuation of wave phase and amplitude are also presented.
