Influence of Random Irregularities on Quasi-Thermal Noise Spectrum of Plasma

The influence of random irregularities of electron density on quasi-thermal noise spectra in plasma is considered in the paper. Quasi-thermal noise spectrum of plasma in state near the thermal equilibrium is determined by effective dielectric constant tensor. Presence of random irregularities change dispersion law in plasma what cause the change in the shape of quasi-thermal noise spectrum. Numerical estimation of noise spectra are fulfilled for both conditions of ionospheric and solar wind plasma.

Anomalous attenuation of extraordinary waves in ionosphere heating experiments

The results of experimental and theoretical study of anomalous attenuation of probe extraordinary waves in experiments on modification of ionosphere by powerful HF waves on "Sura" heating facility are presented. The experimental data indicate significant attenuation of extraordinary waves which can be explained as a result of multiple scattering of extraordinary waves on small-scale random irregularities. The possibility of diagnostics of spectrum of artificial irregularities from measurements of anomalous attenuation of extraordinary waves is demonstrated.

Investigation of Joint Effect of Two Mechanisms of Probe Wave Anomalous Attenuation

Two mechanisms of anomalous attenuation of probe waves in the experiments of ionosphere modification are discussed in the paper. The first mechanism is the well-known conversion of ordinary wave into plasma waves due to scattering from random irregularities in the upper-hybrid resonance region. The second mechanism is the multiple scattering. This mechanism is responsible for anomalous attenuation of extraordinary wave have been observed in several experiments. Investigation of joint effect of both mechanisms gives additional possibilities for diagnostics of artificial irregularities.

Dependence of Ordinary Wave Anomalous Absorption on the sounding Problem Parameters

The paper describes the straightforward method of calculation of anomalous absorption of ordinary wave due to transformation into plasma wave in the upper-hybrid resonance region of magnetized plasma with random irregularities. The method is based on the general approach to calculation of scattering or transformation cross-sections in magnetized plasma. The expressions for anomalous attenuation obtained in the paper take into account the thermal motions of the particles and have a wide area of application. Numeric estimations of anomalous absorption for different conditions are carried out.

The Radiation Transfer at a Layer of Magnetized Plasma With Random Irregularities

The problem of radio wave reflection from an optically thick plane monotonous layer of magnetized plasma is considered at present work. The plasma electron density irregularities are described by spatial spectrum of an arbitrary form. The small-angle scattering approximation in the invariant ray coordinates is suggested for analytical investigation of the radiation transfer equation. The approximated solution describing spatial-and-angular distribution of radiation reflected from a plasma layer has been obtained. The obtained solution has been investigated numerically for the case of the ionospheric radio wave propagation. Two effects are the consequence of multiple scattering: change of the reflected signal intensity and anomalous refraction.

The Analytical Solution of Radiation Transfer Equation for a Layer of Magnetized Plasma With Random Irregularities

The problem of radio wave reflection from an optically thick plane monotonous layer of magnetized plasma is considered at present work. The plasma electron density irregularities are described by spatial spectrum of an arbitrary form. The small-angle scattering approximation in the invariant ray coordinates is suggested for analytical investigation of the radiation transfer equation. The approximated solution describing spatial-and-angular distribution of radiation reflected from a plasma layer is obtained. The obtained solution can be applied, for example, to the ionospheric radio wave propagation.
