Abstract
Simulation results of the reflectometer phase and power sensitivity fr om a two-dimensional physical optics model show that a tightly focused reflectometer beam is most appropriate for fluctuation measurements, while a larger beam diameter appears more appropriate for density prof ile measurements.
