Abstract

The effect of various ionospheric inhomogeneities on the signal reflected from the ionospheric layer is studied. It is shown that diffraction effects in the vicinity of the reflection point under conditions of a large propagation path are less significant than diffraction effects outside this neighborhood on the propagation path of the radio wave from the source to the reflection point and from the reflection point to the receiver. This not only facilitates the numerical simulation of the vertical sounding signal, but also allows you to increase the resolution of vertical sounding systems by spatial processing of the signal.
