General dispersion equation is obtained at arbitrary inclination angles of the external magnetic field and wave vector of an incident EM wave. Statistical characteristics of the phase fluctuations of scattered high frequency EM waves in the collision magnetized plasma caused by electron density and external magnetic field fluctuations taking into account polarization coefficients for both ordinary and extraordinary waves are calculated analytically. The influence of collision frequency, anisotropy factor and angle of inclination of prolate irregularities of electron density fluctuations with respect to the geomagnetic field of lines on the broadening of the spatial power spectrum is analyzed. Phase portraits of the phase fluctuations caused by the geomagnetic field fluctuations are constructed at different spatial parameters characterizing magnetic field and electron density fluctuations. Numerical calculations are carried out for the ionospheric F-region parameters using experimental data.
Using WKB method the peculiarities of the temporal spectrum of an ordinary and extraordinary electromagnetic wave scattered in a weakly randomly inhomogeneous three-dimensional nonstationary and conductive magnetized plasma are investigated. On the basis of the stochastic differential transport equation for the frequency fluctuation the broadening and the displacement of the temporal spectrum for both waves are obtained for the polar terrestrial ionosphere. These statistical characteristics contains anisotropic parameters: velocity of a plasma stream, conductivities of the ionosphere, elongated electron density irregularities are characterized by the anisotropy factor and inclination angle with respect to the geomagnetic lines of forces. The analysis of the power spectrum of the waves as a function of the propagation distance and the nondimensional frequency parameter containing the carrier frequency and characteristic temporal scale of electron density fluctuations are carried out. Analytical and numerical calculations have shown that the terrestrial conductivity and anisotropy factors exert a substantial influence on evaluation of the temporal spectrum than the inclination angle. It was found that the wave spectrum increases initially as the square root of the propagation distance, but at large distances it approaches a limiting value. Statistical moments of a scattered ordinary and extraordinary waves do not depend on an absorption sign and valid for both absorptive and active media.
On the basis of the solution of the space-time characteristic system by the method of geometric optics using symbolic calculations, analytical and numerical simulation of the propagation of the ordinary and extraordinary radio waves in the conducting equatorial ionospheric plasma was made considering the anisotropy of plasma irregularities and non-stationary nature of propagation medium. Broadening of the spectrum and the displacement of its maximum contain velocity of a turbulent plasma flow and parameters characterizing anisotropic plasmonic structures. Statistical moments of both radio waves do not depend on the absorption sign and are valid for both active and absorptive random media. Temporal pulsations and conductivity of a turbulent ionospheric plasma have an influence on the evaluation of the spectrum-varying propagation distances travelling by these waves. The new double-humped effect in the temporal spectrum has been revealed for the ordinary wave varying anisotropy coefficient and dip angle of stretched plasmonic structures. From a theoretical point of view, the algorithms developed in this work allow effective modelling of the propagation of both radio signals in the equatorial conductive ionospheric plasma, considering the external magnetic field, inhomogeneities of electron density in-homogeneities, as well as non-stationary.
The oblique radio wave incidence on a turbulent equatorial conductive collision plasma layer is considered. The “Compensation Effect” has been discovered by us. A complex refractive index of the equatorial terrestrial ionosphere has been derived for the first time. Second-order statistical moments of the spatial power spectrum (SPS) of scattered radio waves are obtained for the first time using the WKB method, taking into account the asymmetry of the problem: the inclined incidence of the wave on a plasma boundary and the asymmetry of the magneto-ionic parameters. It was established for the first time that a certain direction exists along which the inclined incidence radio wave on a plasma layer and the anisotropy parameters of a magnetoplasma compensate each other. This result will have great practical application in communication. In this case, the SPS of scattered radio waves neither widens nor is its maximum displaced. The behavior of this spectrum versus distance propagated by radio waves in the conductive equatorial ionosphere is analyzed numerically for different penetration angles and anisotropy factors of asymmetric anisotropy electron density irregularities. It was shown that the anisotropy factor of elongated plasmonic structures has a substantial influence on the “Compensation Effect” of scattered ordinary and extraordinary waves penetrating in the conductive collision ionospheric plasma the slab. Numerical calculations are carried out for the anisotropic Gaussian correlation function applying IRI experimental data.
