Abstract

Background. It is shown that it is necessary to study the effect of atmospheric turbulence on the spectral characteristics of a radio signal. Aim. The influence of atmospheric turbulence on the spectral fluctuations of the radio signal intensity and on the displacement of the spectral components of the radio signal has been studied. Methods. The research was carried out on the basis of an analysis of the relationship between two-wave and single-wave correlation ratios. Based on the solution of the differential equation for fluctuations of the eikonal amplitude of an electromagnetic wave and the use of the derived trigonometric ratio, a connection between the two-wave Fourier=spectrum and single-wave spectra is obtained. In this case, a single source of turbulence effects on the radio signal was used at the coordinate point of the radio wave propagation by introducing a new variable equal to the average value of the coordinates of the turbulence effect. To find the resulting double integral, one of the coordinates of the turbulent action is transformed into an angular variable. Results. The dependence of the relative dimensionless mean of square of the integral intensity of the radio signal fluctuations on the wave number of turbulent pulsations of the atmosphere at various displacements of the spectral wavelengths of the radio signal is found. Conclusion. It is shown that turbulence slightly distorts the spectral information essence of a propagating radio signal in various wavelength ranges.
