Abstract
The problem of radio wave reflection from an optically thick plane uniform layer of magnetized plasma is considered in the present work. The plasma electron density irregularities are described by a spatial spectrum of arbitrary form. The small-angle scattering approximation in invariant ray coordinates is proposed as a technique for the analytical investigation of the radiation transfer equation. The approximate solution describing the spatial and angular distribution of radiation reflected from a plasma layer is obtained. The solution obtained is investigated numerically for the case of ionospheric radio wave propagation. Two effects occur as a consequence of multiple scattering: a change in the reflected signal intensity and an anomalous refraction.
