Summary:
Peculiarities of the evolution of the angular power spectrum (APS) of multiple scattered radiation in the ionospheric plasma taking into account diffraction effects caused by electron density fluctuations are investigated in this paper. It has been shown that the APS has a double-peaked shape at oblique illumination of medium by mono-directed incident radiation using the smooth perturbation method. Correlation functions of the phase fluctuations are calculated for arbitrary correlation functions of electron density fluctuations. Analytical and numerical calculations are carried out for anisotropic Gaussian correlation function.
