The Analytical Solution of Radiation Transfer Equation for a Layer of Magnetized Plasma With Random Irregularities
N. A. Zabotin, A. G. Bronin
Abstract
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.
