RADIOWAVE DIAGNOSTICS OF TURBULENT MEDIA

The article considers the passage of a radio signal through a turbulen t medium in which the signal is distorted and scattered, causing the r adio line to be unstable. The method of secondary sources is used to s olve the problem of the transmission of a plane electromagnetic wave t hrough a planar dielectric which has turbulently time- and space-pertu rbed dielectric constant. The novelty of the study is that on the basi s of the first-approximation solution with sufficient accuracy for pra ctical purposes, determining the field for small perturbations of the parameter, a direct relation has been established between the energy s pectrum of the fluctuations of the transmitted wavefield and the corre lation function of the parameter pulsations.
