the mean amplitude by Eq (1*6), the mean square of
amplitude fluctuation by Zq (1.7) and the mutual
correlation between the amplitude and phase by Eq (1.8).
Thus, a complete description of the radiation field is
obtained if the mwm field and the corresponding mean
square values are known. In order to calculate these
quantities, use is made of Maxwell's equations which, 'vK
after the exclusion of the magnetic field, can be
.reduced to the form given by Eq (2*1). Assuming that
e = I + be, 9 = 9 +~4 , the final equations are of the
form given by-Eqs-(2,3) and (2.4). These equations must
be supplemented by the appropriate boundary condItIons
on the separation-boundary. If the latter is a perfectly
conducting plane, the tangential component's of the field
must be zero (Eq 2-5). The subscript 00011 indicates
that the quantities are evaluated at z = 0 , where the
x axis Is normal to the separation boundary and passes

condition given by Eq (2.9). The b function on the
right-hand side of Eq (2.7) is due to the presence of the
source at the point r. . These equations are solved
for the mean field in Section 3, and it is shown that in
order to find this field above the perfectly conducting

is concerned with the statistical characteristics of the
field in the distant zone. In this section, formulae are
derived for the mean square fluctuations mentioned above.
It is shown that the fluctuations increase rapidly near
the minima of the mean field and this Is associatea with
the interference structure of the electromagnetic field In
space. The interference effecis are most sharply defined
when the amplitude of the direct and the reflected waves
is the same. If the modulus qf-the amplitude reflection
coefficient is different from unity,. the interference
phenomena do not lead to such a stron3increass in the
fluctuations* In the came of small reflection coefficients
one can use the formulae obtained for aninfinite medium.

ABSTRACT: The present paper is the continuation of the paper on
PP 553-564 of this issue. Using the results-obtained
in that paper, general formulae are derived for the
spatial correlation functions for amplitude-and phase
fluctuations, assuming that the relative fluctuations are
small. If the fluctuation part of the electromagnetic
field is much smaller than the regular component (at
points distant from the zeros of the latter) the phase
and amplitude fluctuationz are given by Eqs (1,I) and
(1.2). The correlation between the amplitude and phase
fluctuations at different points 1 and 2 is then
g1v6n by Zqs (1.3) and (1.4). Under certain s:Lmpllfy*ng-
assumptions, it can be shown that the phase and
Cardl/2 amplitude correlations are equal and we given by Eq (1-5).

ABSTRACT: The equations for the mean electric field A and the
fluctuation part t were shown in Refs I a-nd 2 to be
of the form given by Eqs (1) and (2). If be is small
compared with the mean N~alue ;c , Eqs (1) and (2) can be
simplified to the form given by Eq (3), where W is the
correlation coefficient between' fluctuations In the
dielectric constant, which is considered to be an even
function. If the electric field varies much more slowly
than the correlation coefficients then Eq (3) can again
be simplified into the form given by Eq Mg where the
effective complex dielectric-constant tensor is given by
Eq M* The mean electric field in a medium with
anisotropic irregularities can be described by the sam
Cardl/4 equations as those used in the theory of crystals and,

The problem is restricted to large-scale fluctuations, i.e.
the correlation radius is large as compared with the wave
length* For a complete statistic description of the field, the
mean value of the field and the mean square of the fluctuation
components must be found. In a limited medium, the fluctuations
grow near theinterference minimum of the field components.
The theoretical results obtained in the consideration of the

ABSTRACTt The propagation of electromagnetic waves above a surface
with random irregularities has been discussed by
Feynberg (Ref 1) in the case of a vertical dipole placed
on a certain average plane surface relative to which the
random irregularities are assumed to take place. It
was shown in Ref 1, that the propagation of the average
electromagnetic wave above a surface with random
irregularities is equivalent to the propagation above a
plane surface having a certain effective complex
dielectric constant which depends on the statistical
characteristics of the random irregularities. The
present paper gives a derivation of the boundary

surface (which is not necessarily plane) with random
irregularities both in geometrical form and electrical
properties. The discussion is limited to vell-conducting
surfaces which satisfy the Leontovich boundary conditions.
The discussion begins with a consideration of the
propagation of a sonic wave over a surface with a
random Impedance. The boundary condition for the field
(~ on the surface can be written in the form given by
Eq (1). The orthogonal system of coordinates employed
is as follows3 the Z axis directed along the normal
to the underlying surfaces and the X and Y axes
are chosen so that they are tangential to the principle
lines of curvature. In Eq (1), 1 Is the impedance of
the,separation boundary, k = w/c, and the dependence
on time is taken to be of the form e-iWt. The random
impedance way be looked upon an a sum of the average
impedance and the random component, and similarly for

is led to Eq (2) where the horizontal bar indicates
average quantities. On subtracting Eq (2) from Eq (1),
and neglecting second order quantities, Eq (3) is
obtained. The boundary conditions for 4~ can be found
by expre ssing_ +1 (the random component of the field)
in terms(of. 41'using Eq (3) and then substituting
into Eq 2) The resulting boundary condition is given
by Eq (4) and it is clear from this equation that the
boundary condition is non-localg ie the derivative on
the left depends on the value of (P on a certain area
having a centre r and whose effective linear
dimensions are oCthe order of the correlation radius
between a(r) and a(r'). If the correlation radius is
much smalle; then the radius of curvatureo V is the
Green function for the plane. If one assumes that the
correlation function depends only on the distance between
the points r and r, , the boundary conditions given
by Eq (4) caR be rewritten in the form given by Eq M-
The case is then discussed where the integral boundary

condition goes over into a local one. The discussion
is concluded with a consideration of the Leontovich
boundary conditions. On a random surface z =1 (X'Y)'
these conditions are of the form given by Eq (9) where
E and H are the total electric and magnetic fields
and E =L E + as H = H + h. If the boundary conditions
(9) ire';ppilled t7o th-e suTface z =-O, and the
appropriate averaging process is carried out, the
average and fluctuating components of the electric
field are given by Eq (10). It is assumed that
impedance fluctuations are not correlated to geometrical
fluctuations. In order to find ez and the
z derivative of ex,y use is made of Eq (11) which gives
the field at an arbitrary point in the upper half-space
in terms of the tangential components,Tf)the electric
field on the surface (Ref 2), where - I is the magnetic

field on the average surface being zero. If the
integration surface is approximately plane, the
expressions given by Eq (12) are obtained. If on the
other hand impedance fluctuations can be neglected, and
geometrical fluctuations are uniforms the expressions
given by Eq (13) are obtained. The theory is then
applied to the case of the propagation of electromagnetic
waves due to a point source,over a spherical earth. In
conclusion the author thanks Ye.L.Feynberg for discussing
the results and E.A.Kaner for helpful suggestions.

In many cases,. i can be regarded as the function of z

by Eq (2.1); If the field is inclined to the axis z it
is expressed by Eqs (2.2). Eq (1.4) can be written as
Eqs (2-3). The solution of the second of these equations

following statistical characteristics of the random
components of the electric field, as given by Eq (2.6), are
of interest: the reflection coefficients V 1,2 and
depolarisation coefficients D 1,2 which describe the
rotation of the polwisation plane. These coefficients
are defined by Eqs (2-7). Further parameters of interest
are: the average square value of the phase fluctuation
pi and the relative amplitude fluctuati ons a i and their
correlatidh functionso These are defined by Eqs (2.8).
The expressions for the reflection and depolarisation
coefficients are in the form of Eqs (2.9), where K
represents the correlation function for the permittivity
fluctuations, while F 1 and F 2 are defined by
Eqs (2.10). The correlation functions for the case of

Eq.(2) holds for (q fo)-1 < I (where R. In a characteristic
dimension of the sea tering volume and q represents the change
In the wave vector due to scattering). This is true for the
present situation. As the transmitter-receiver distance is
increased, the fluctuating component falls off much less rapidly
than the regular component. Hence at great distances the latter
can be ignored in comparison with the former. At such distances
the mean square fluctuations of phase and amplitude are given by:

grow rapidly. It should be noted, however, that they also depend

TEXT: The problem of the fluctuations of an electromagnetic
field Ju a magnetically-active me'dium was studied in R*f. 1 -
F.G. Bass and-S.I. Khankina - this journa1,._3_T__384, 1960'-
and,
Ref. 2 - N.G. Denisov, this journal, 3, 619, 1960, but it
appears that the generalization of the results obtained in
those
works is of some interest. This is done in the following by
using the perturbation method. The statistical characteristics
of an electromagnetic field which passes through a magneto-
active plasma are calculated; the fluctuations of the electron
concentration and the external magnetic field as well as the
field reflected from the layer of plasma are determined.
