MODEL COMPUTATIONS OF ANGULAR POWER SPECTRA FOR ANISOTROPIC ABSORPTIVE TURBULENT MAGNETIZED PLASMABy G. V. Jandieri, A. Ishimaru, V. G. Jandieri, A. G. Khantadze, and Z. M. DiasamidzeAbstract: Electromagnetic waves scattering in turbulent anisotropic collision magnetized ionospheric plasma is investigated using complex geometrical optics approximation. Correlation function of the phase fluctuations of scattered radiation is obtained taking into account both electron density and magnetic fields fluctuations. The features of the angular power spectrum of scattered radiation are investigated analytically and numerically. The expressions of broadening of the spatial spectrum have been obtained for both powerlaw and anisotropic Gaussian correlation functions of electron density fluctuations. Gaussian spectral function takes into account the axial ratio of the field-aligned irregularities and the angle of inclination of prolate irregularities with respect to the external magnetic field. The variance of the phase and scintillation level of scattered radiation are calculated numerically for F-region irregularities of the ionosphere. The conditions of non-fully and fully developed diffraction patterns have been determined.
