Z0. ABSTRACT - Continued
ransverse distance, one can obtain exact analytical solutions for the wavestatistics. For an arbitrary fluctuation spectrum, one can evaluate the Sfunction along a quasiparticle trajectory and thereby infer second momentsexactly and fourth moments approximately. Knowledge of the S function en-ables one to ascertain statistical properties, such as average intensity, twopoint intensity correlation and the scintillation index
The Scintillation index for the case of a plane wave propagating through theionosphere is studied for the case of an arbitrary power spectrum of iono-spheric fluctuations. Peaks superposed on a power law spectrum are found toincrease the value ofL S4A focusing effect on the %)vs. z variation is observ-ed in the strong scintillation limit.
An experimental power spectrum, corresponding to relative density fluctua-tions of about ZO% as obtained from in situ measurements by the AtmosphericExplorer-E satellite, is used to calculate the corresponding S(J for night timeequatorial scintillations. For an ionospheric slab model with a thickness of200 Km and an altitude ofiW Km numerical calculations yield, in approximateagreement with Dr. Basu, an almost saturated scintillation index of about1.1. ..

Chapter 1 INTRODUCTION
I. Motivation
Wave propagation in random media has been studied over
the last two decades. Heightened interest in this problem has
been mainly due to the large number of problems that arise in
radio physics, acoustice, plasma studies and certain other
branches of physics. From the physical viewpoint random wave
propagation can be analyzed at two levels: macroscopic, con-cerned with propagation in continuous random media such as
turbulent fluids and microscopic, concerned with the scatter-
ing of waves by randomly distributed scatterors such as elec-
trons, molecules, rain, blood cells. Wave propagation in
continuous random media, applies to such problems as thescattering of sound and ultrasound waves in sea water, lightscattering in the atmosphere, radio waves scattering in the
ionosphere and the twinkling of stellar images. Wave propa-
gation in discrete random media is of considerable interestfor such problems as molecular scattering of light, wave
scattered by the rain, and bioengneers may use the fluctua-
tion and scattering characteristics of a sound wave as a
diagnoistic tool. The abundance and variety of such problemshas stimulated development and refinement of statistical
methods for calculating wave propagation in a random medium.
This paper is mainly concerned with the wave propagationthrough an ionospheric random layer.
When a random wave from an extraterrestrial sources,such as a ra4io star or an artificial satellite, passesthrough the ionosphere, its wavefront and amplitude will be
distorted by the density fluctuation in the ionosphere plas-
ma. On propagating to the ground, the resulting phase varia-
tions cause interference to occur and a diffraction patternis set up across the ground. The resulting random variations

of the electromagnetic field are termed scintillations. In
consequence, satellite based couuunications exhibit serious
performance degradation, the degradation being most serious
for propagation paths which transit the auroral and equatorial
ionosphere. The importance of a through investigation of this
problem is obvious.
II. General Introduction and-Review
Propagation models are required to provide satellite
comunication system and radar system designers with a means
to translate the available ionospheric statistics into cons-
traints for the specific systems that are being designed.
Approximate models have been proposed that apply under res-

Let the wave field be represented by E = E exp (-iot), where

electric field vector and u is a component of E. If the
dielectric properties of the medium change slowly in time in

matical difficulties of the theory, since we don't know how to
find an exact solution of such a wave equation. It is necessa-ry to apply certain approximations that make use of the small
parameters such as the fluctuation of I , i.e. the deviation
from the mean value. It can also be the smallness of the wave-
length in comparison with the dimension of the inhomogeneities.In practice, two types of problems arise: the direct problem,in which one has to find the statistics of waves propagating
in the medium from the known statistics of the medium, and the
inverse problem wherein one draws conclusions about the proper-
ties of random inhomogeneities from the measured moments of the
field. Actually, these two problems are equivalbnt, .i.e. oneneeds to find. the relation between the statistice of the mediumand the wave field.
We shall assume for simplicity that the medium is on the
average homogeneous and stationary. Removing these two 'res-trictions does not give rise to any difficulties in principle.4

solved easily. However, and U are generally correlated,
the approximations used to provide solutions to (1.1) and (1.2)
are all directed towards modeling the statistical relationship
between 9 and U . If E is small enough, then we cannaturally resort to the method of perturbations, and expand
in a power series in E , or more exactly in (P) Y),
A pertubation series solution to (1.2) can be formed thatseparates S and ' where U describes the fluctuation in
U V = <U> + U * The first term in the perturbation series
for U is the Born or single-scattering approximation, whichapplies only when both & and U are small. When U is not
small, a large number of terms in the perturbation series mustbe summed. The nth term of the series describes the n-fold
scattering and contains the n-fold product F (r1 )... K(r,).A
Thus, in calculating the average < U >, we liave to know the
moments < E (rs)... (r ))> of E of all orders. The reno-
malization schemes of multiple-scattering theory attempt to
solve this problem by a selective summation technique that
leads to readily evaluated expressions for the moment of U
of interest.
The Born approximation is shown to be valid when k • 1 issmall, where 1 is the characteristic scale of the turbulentmedium. As k. 1 increases, we must either take into accountthe higher order terms in the perturbation series or go overto other approximate methods which deal with multiple scatter-ing to some extent.

Thelst order equation for I can be solved yielding the Rytovapproximation, which is also called the method of smooth per-turbations. The Rytov approximation is a weak scintillationapproximation that hold for small <9L>, where X. is the flu-ctuation of the logarithm of the amplitude, it has a widerrange of validity than the Born approximation.
The generally accepted model for ionospheric propagationthru a turbulent ionosphere has been the thin phase diffrac-tion screen model (3). The ionospheric irregularities perturbthe phase of the field at the layer and their effect upon thewave beyond the layer can be computed using diffraction theory.Mercier (4) and Briggs and Parkin (5) introduced a Gaussiancorrelation function to describe the phase fluctuation at thescreen and related all higher moments to the second moment.Spectral analyses of observed phase and amplitude fluctuationshave shown that the electron-density irregularities have apower spectrum that may be characterized by a power law shape.Rufenach (6) extended tha phase-screen theory using a powerlaw spectral shape for the irregularities.
For the weak scintillation case, the Born, Rytov and thethin phase screen approximations are all applicable. For
strong scintillation and a thick layer, the effect of multiplescattering on transionospheric signals has to be taken intoaccount.

I. Problem Description
Ionospheric, scintillation has been observed at frequen-- ) cies ranging from 10 lz to 6 GNz. The irregularities in the
ionosphere which produce the fluctuations are believed to bemainly in the F-region, the layer of strong irregularities is
often 100-500 ko thick ranging from 200-700 Xm in altitude.The electron density fluctuations are often of the order of a
fey tens of per cent and can be as high as 70 per cent. TheF-region irregularities are usually regarded as a stochastic
process and characterized by three dimensional random func-tions which are assumed spatially and temporally stationaryover the increments of interest, One defines the spatialcorrelation function BN(r") of the density function by

II. Theory of Multiple Scatterina
The general theory of multiple scattering has been deve-
loped by many authors. (Bourret 1961, Apresyan 1973, Tatarski
1971, Marcuvitz 1974, DeWolf 1979). The Greenis function me-
thod, which had previously been investigated in quantum field
theory, was applied to the problem of wave propagation in a
random medium. People have used the Dyson equation for the
average field, and the Bethe-Salpeter equation for the cova-
riance B =<A(r 1t) u(ra)>. However, one cannot derive such
closed equations by averaging the original differential equa-
tions for the field because moments of different orders are
coupled together. Bourret (14) was the first person to apply
the graph technique to scattering of waves in a continuous
fluctuating medium. He assumed that the parameters of the
medium fluctuate according to a normal law and are statistical-
ly independent of the sought field. This led to an approximate
expression for the effective average dielectric constant pro-
portional to the correlation function < g(r 1 )E (r a)> of the
medium. A more detailed derivation of the equations for the
average and 2 point correia-tion- assuming -a normal law for a
fluctuating medium is due to Tatarski, and to Frisch who
admitted deviations from the normal law.
The utility of series representations is dependent on
the rapidity of convergence. Operator techniques employed in
the spirit of the formal theory of scattering was shown by
IMarcuvitz (1974), to provide alternative and formally exact
representations of turbulent field quantities and their n-
point ensemble averages. In appropriate parametric ranges
these formally exact expressions are expandable into rapidly

to the case of large scale correlation, but then the fluctua-tion % must be small. Otherwise# the higher moment terms

II!.Markov ApDroximation
In order to proceed further, additional approximations
for the random medium statistics must be considered. A very
useful approximation is the Markov approximation which gives
correct results in cases of interest even in the limit ofstrong scintillations. The mathematical representation and
physical interpretation of the Markov approximation is basedon the following observation:the correlation of the dielectric
constant in the transverse direction has a direct bearing
on the transverse correlation of the field but the correlation
of the dielectric constant in the direction of the wave pro-
pagation has little effect on the fluctuation characteristic
of the wave. Hence, one can assume that (r) is delta corre-
lated in the direction of propagation,
dw (2.45)
i.e. one can treat wave propagation in a random medium as aMarkov random process. It is equivalent to assume that theturbulent eddies are like flat disks oriented normally to the
propagation path. Tatarski (1971) gives a derivation of thisapproximation which provides the limits of applicability of
the Markov approximation. For typical ionospheric parameters,

Chapter 3 SOLUTIONS FOR THE MUTUAL COHERENCE
FUNCTION
I. "Slow" and "Fast" Quasiparticle Distribution Functions
Equation (2.78) is a single mode type of wave problem
dependent on the statistics of the random medium. In order to
obtain the solutions for the mutual coherence function, we
shall define the following Fourier transform with respect to
the "fast" variable I = x, - x s , and the "slow" variable
x = X1 + x2/2. They are so called "quasiparticle distribution
function" or "Wigner distribution function" described independ-
ently by Marcuvitz (7$) and Bremmer (34). One introduces the
double Fourier representation.

The reality property F(k,x,z) = F * O,x~z) of the fast
quasiparticle d~f. follows readily from eq.(3.5); however,
positive definiteness is not in general assured. S(KE3)
is only real when q)( (X) is an even function which can be
proved using eq. (3.6). S(K E a 3), just as F~kpxpz), can be

that the correlation length of a focussed beam reducesto a minimum at the focal point and retains its co-

The normalized MCF given by at x = 0 is equal to

We observe that for collimated beams propagating in a random
medium, wherein .( = 0 and a 70, the wave will loss its cohe-
rence (the correlation length reduces) with increasing z.
For z>0, the focused beam will reduce its correlation length
before the focal point. After passing the focal distance, it
broadens until turbulent effects dominate at which point the
beam again loses its coherence. For the divergent beam case,
the wave will increase its correlation length and then lose
its coherence when the turbulent effect dominates.
To illustrate the evolution of Mutual Coherence Function,
plots of M(X , I ,J ) in the X , E space, for the case4= o(- 1,a a 0 representation of a focused beam propagating in free
space, are shown in Fig. 3.la-3.1b at distance z a 0.5, 1, 1.5,
2. For a initial MCF depicted in Fig. 1, the focusing effect
at z a 0.5 is apparent.
Figs. 2a-2b display the Mutual Coherence Function for a
focused beam in a random medium with a = kg = 1, = - 1, thebeam assumes a minimum width in x at z' according to equation
(3.48) and then spreads in the x direction. Because of the
turbulent effect, the MCF decorrelates as the wave is propaga-
ted and the width in space is reduced. The amplitude of

the MCF decays with increasing z. Normalized MCFs calculated
by use of equations (3.38) (3.45)-(3.50) are depicted in Figs.3-9. For the case of a collimated beam in free space, the
normalized MCF is broadened with increasing z (Fig.3). For
the focused beam, the correlation length reduces to a minimum
value at z = 0.5. Beyond the focal point, the beam starts tospread and increases its correlation length (Fig.4). Fig. 5
displays the normalized MCF for a collimated beam in a medium
with the turbulent strength a = 1; the correlation length
decreases as z increases. The same case for a focused beamis depicted in Fig. 6. Due to focusing, the width of norma-
lized MCF becomes narrower for small z, it then broadens for
some distance because of the diffraction effect, finally,turbulent effects reduces its coherence length. Fig. 7 and 8
shows the MCF different values of "a" for a collimated beam and
a focused beam respectively. In both cases, the MCF become
more decorrelated as the turbulence becomes stronger. The
effects of turbulence for different initial beam sizes are
shown in Fig. 9a-9b for collimated beam and focused beam. The
correlation length is larger for a wider beam size , as one
expects.
III. Numerical Evaluation of MCF for a Complicated Power
Spectrum
To obtain MCF for an arbitrary power spectrum, one can
apply the same procedure as described in section II. However,
because of the complicate integration involved in evaluating
the function H(E), it is not realistic to solve the problemanalytically. A numerical procedure via the quasiparticle
distribution function approach will be used to find the disireinformation.
It is necessary to develope a numerical scheme which cal-
culates the slow quasiparticle distribution function S(K ,1 , )

for a given S ( 1 4 , C ). The corresponding results for inten-sity, beam size ratio and normalized MCF can then be obtainedvia equations (3.6)'and (3.11). We shall first examine thecase of a collimated beam propagating in free space to checkthe accuracy of the algorithm being used. The z = 0 quasipar-ticle distribution function which follows from equation (3.31),i.e.
S .1,o) -4 e e _
(3.51)
is depicted in Fig. 10 for the case *v= 1, A,=O. The quasi-particles are evenly distributed in the intervals -7- 1 (+7,-7< K< +7. At a subsequent distance z the distribution func-
tion follows from (3.24) and (3.21) as
5(K,,') = 5 (K, -K', o)(3.52)
i.e. the quasiparticle density is redistributed when evolutesin 3' , as the quasiparticle spread in 8 the probability dis-tribution function (d.f) with coordinates S( K, -K&, 0), atz .0 "moves" to the new location S(K , , ") at z = zI. Theredistribution phenomena enable us to interpolate every pointin K , space from the initial d.f. to the final d.f. at z=z'numerically. Figs11-12 display the S function at z = 0.75,1.5 respectively. The quasiparticles with higher K "move"faster than those with smaller K . The resulting d.f. thusspreads along e directions. The MCF at x m 0 as a function of
Sfor distances z corresponding to the associated S(s,E, )

are displayed in Fig. 13. The spreading effect increases the
coherence length as z increases. Fig. 14 depicts the initial
condition described by equation (3.51) vitholr= oi;= 1, a = 0i.e. focused beam in free space at z <0.5, the field reduceits coherence length because of the focusing effect, it then
spreads as z = 0.5, as described in section II. The S func-tion at z = 0.75, 1.5 are shown in Fig. 15, 16. Fig. 17 dis-plays the MCF as a function of I and z. The above exact re-sults have been used to check the accuracy of the algorithm
and found to be very good.
The Fourier transform of S(k , I, ) gives the MCFlM(x, , , L Setting =0, one obtains the intensity,
I(x , )=M(X, 0, ) as a function of x and z. Figs. 18and 19 depict the intensity function for collimated and focusedbeams propagating in free space. In the first case the inten-
sities spreads in the X direction as z evolves. The focusing
effect is observed in the second case and is shown in Fig.19.
For a wave propagating thru a random medium, characteriz-
ed by a power spectrum (A), the evolution of the S functioncan be obtained from the relations
S : ,. o) e 0
(3.53)
where, for the one dimensional case, H(.E ) can be representedas

Along the quasiparticle trajectory, one can rewrite (3.53) as
•- j(33]
(3.55)
From knowledge of the power spectrum and the initial
distribution function, one can interpolate the S function
along the trajectory in accordance with (3.55). That is, the
S function spreads in E space and decays along the trajec-
tory with a structure function H( E ) dependence.
One finds equation (3.55) is different from eq. (3.52)
by a collisional (decaying) term exp -J}H[E-K(J-J')J '
It is thus important to observe the behavior of the H func-
tion for an arbitrary power spectrum. We shall choose three
different kinds of power spectrum and study the resulting
behavior of the H function:
(a) Gaussian spectrum
A, (3.56)
where -& is the center of the Gaussian spectrum and b is
the width T;
(b) Power law spectrum with spectral index P

where &L= i/L is the wavenumber associate with the
outer scale Lo and F is the spectral index.
(c) Compound spectrum
~ C[ 1 ... )P x2 (3.58)
is the superposition of spectrum (a) and (b).
The power spectrum and associated H function are shown
in Figs. 20a and 20b. Curve 1 in Figs. 20a, b represents (f)and H( E ) for spectrum type (b). The Gaussian bump power spec-
trum and corresponding H function are depicted in curves 2,3,4
with *' equal to 1,2,3 respectively, and with a = 0.3, b = 0.2.
One observes that the additive Gaussian bump contributes an
oscilltory structure to the power spectrum. For instance, .' =3imposes an oscilltory structure with three peaks located at
= /3, X , 5 1/3.
The oscillatory behavior implies a higher randomness in
the medium. As a result, the wave is more decorrelated by the
random field and a stronger scattering effect is encountered.
Fig. 21a displays the Amplitude dependence of the Gaussian
bump for a = 0.3, 0.5 and 0.7 from lower curve to higher curve.The superposed behavior of spectrum (a) and (b) is shown in Fig.
21b for the case *1=1, a = 0.3, b = 0.2.
It is of interest to evaluate numerically the S function
at a distance ; using equation (3.55). Once the S function
is obtained, one can easily find the intensity function I(xz)
and correlation function M(O, , 1 ) at x 0 from

The correlation scale of the field is defined by
S(0,0,J3) (3.61)
and hence the knowledge of M (0, , z) permits one to eva-luate the correlation scale 1. We shall first present somenumerical evaluations of the S function by means of eq. (3.55).The significance of intensity and correlation length for bothfocused and collimated beams will be discussed later.
In the following numerical evaluations, we have used thenormalized quantities: z -0 z/kLe , x -4 x/L. ,' r= k4 Lo' A(0).

tion at z = 0.4375, 0.875, 1.3125, 1.75 for focused beam pro-
pagating thru a random medium with power law spectrum definedby the spectral index p = 4, or = 10, tr-- 1. One observes that
the quasiparticle d.f. spreads in the E direction and decaysaccording to the H function as it redistributes. If a Gaussian
bump is imposed with its center located at k' = 3(GCTR), width
b = 0.2(GWID), amplitude a = 0.3 (GAMP), the S function is dis-torted and sharpened compared to the case of the simple power
law spectrum. These effects are displayed in Figs. 24a-24d.As discussed earlier, the location of the Gaussian bump deter-
mines the number of peaks in the H function. In order to illu-strate the effect of these peaks on the S function, we shall
examine the case of a collimated beam propagating thru a randommedium with the composite spectrum (c). The center of thebump is chosen to be located at k' = 1, 3,4, respectively. For
I" = 10, GWID = 0.2, GAMP = 0.3, p = 4, one displays the nume-
rical solutions in Figs. 25a-25d, figs. 26a-26d and figs. 27a-
27d. At z = 0.4375, the S function is less distorted for k'-lthan it is for k; = 3 and 4. At z = 1.75, the S function for
k' = 3 and 4 clearly shows the effects of the H function peaks.One observes that the presence of these peaks in the H function
greatly reduces the correlation length in the direction.
It is easier and clearer to discuss the independent
effects of different spectrum structure by means of the inten-sity function and correlation length associated with the propa-gating waves. Substituting the numerically evaluated S func-
tion into equations (3.59)-(3.60), one obtains the desired
information for I(x,z) and . . Fig. 28a depicts collimated
beams propagating thru a random medium with H( L )m T1.
Curve 1 represents the axial intensity and correlation lengthfor the case of wave propagation in free space. Turbulent
effects for ar 0.5 and 1 are depicted in curves 2 and 3. (In

). One observes that the axial intensity I(O,z) decays as
the wave propagates while the correlation length decreases due
to turbulent effects until about z = 0.3; diffraction effects
then become important and coherence is partially restored.
After further propagating turbulent effects again dominate and
the wave is decorrelated. For a focused beam propagating in
free space with ar = 1, 44=1, the intensity at z = 0.5 willreach a maximum and its correlation length a minimum as shown
in the curve 1 of Fig. 28b. If a turbulent medium is present,
the focal distance is reduced due to the scattering effect im-
posed by the turbulent medium. Curves 2,3 of Fig. 28b display
the decorrelation process contributed by both focusing and
turbulent phenomena from z = 0 to z = 0.4. At z T= 1.2, the
turbulent effect dominates and reduces the correlation lengthas z increases. Figs. 29a,b display the same effect for theGaussian spectrum. Comparing these curves with the square law
spectrum, one observes that the Gaussian spectrum has a small-
er effect on the wave statistics than the square law spectrum.
It is of interest to consider a power law spectrum for the
ionospheric random medium. We shall choose the spectrum type
(b) with p = 4 and make use of numerical calculations of the
S function to evaluate the axial intensity function I(o,z) and
correlation length 1. The results are depicted in Figs. 30ab.
Fig. 30a displays the case of collimated beam for 'r= 0.5 and 1.The turbulent effect slightly reduces the intensities (Note that
this is a weak turbulence case), and the correlation length de-
creases compared to the case of free space (curve 1). For the
case of focused beams, depicted in Fig. 30b, one finds that
scattering effects decrease the focal length; the wave is also
diffracted and decorrelated as in the previous case. The spec-
trum of a real random medium is not a smooth function in general.
Experimental results show that the power spectrum could posses
a number of "bumps" in various frequency ranges. We shall illus-
trate the effect of such bumps by simply adding a typical

Gaussian bump on the power law spectrum, i.e. a compound spec-
trum as described in eq. (3.58). Fig. 31a, 31b depict the
effect of a Gaussian bump on the axial intensity function and
the correlation length for collimated and focused beams res-
pectively. The parameters are chosen as : Or= 0.5 and 1.
GCTR = 1, GWID = 0.2, GAMP = 0.3 and p = 4. The results show
that the addition of this Gaussian bump causes strong scatter-
ing phenomena. We have presented, for the weak fluctuation
cases Y = 0.5, 1, the effects of turbulence in the medium
As a comparison, we shall now display in Figs. 32-33 some re-
sults for the strong turbulence case, 'Y= 5 and 10. A colli-
mated beam propagates thru a random medium with a composite
spectrum formed byaLGaussian bump located at GCTR = 1, GWID =
0.2 GAMP = 0.3, for the cases 'r= 5 and 10. Curves 2,3 in Fig.
32a represent the intensity and correlation length for = 5
and 10; they shows that for strong turbulence case the corre-
lation length decreases rapidly and a long tail appears at
large Z. The axial intensity drop appreciably and approachsa small constant value. For the focused beam case, the focal
length is greatly reduced for large values of Wr . We shall
expect, as the turbulent strength is very strong, that the
focusing effect will not be present and the wave will decay
as z increases. These results are depicted in Fig. 32b. If
a Gaussian bump is located at k' = 3, the scattering effect is
stronger than for the previous case. Figs. 33a and 33b dis-
play data for a collimated beam and focused beam propagating
thru a random medium described by a composite spectrum with
k' = 3. One observes that decay is much greater for the in-
tensity and that decorrelation phenomena are more evident
than for the case k'=l

IV. Conclusion and Discussion
A wavepacket or beam can be viewed as a finitely extend-
ed moving and deforming system of "Quasiparticles". The Four-
ier transform of the Mutual Coherence Function w.r.t. either
the "fast" or "slow" coordinate is defined respectively as the
"fast" or "slow" quasiparticle distribution function F or S.
For wave propagation in a random medium, it is usually more
convenient to utilize the "slow quasiparticle" distribution
function S. The knowledge of the S function provides the de-
sired information for two point statistics of a stochastic
wave. For example, the correlation length lat any value z,
defined in equation (3.61), can be interpreted as the total
*numer of q.p. Ns(z) divided by the q.p. density at = 0.
Also, the axial intensity I(0,z) may be represented by the
slow q.p. density at 0 = . To obtain the 2 point statisti-
cs at any distance z, one has only to observe the q.p. flow
in K ,E space as z increases. For the case of a collimated
beam propagating in free space, one considers, at z = 0, a
system of quasiparticles evenly distributed between -7 < ,
1< +7. Qualitatively, we shall use the "area" of a circular
"point" to represent the number density of slow q.p.; thus at
z = 0 the q.p. are distributed in K , space as shown in
Fig. 34. As z increases, those q.p. with higher X "move"
faster than those with smaller X . As a result, the q.p.
density at E = 0 decreases as z increases and hence the axial
intensity I(0,z) decreases. Since the total number of q.p is
conserved ih free space propagation , i.e. Ns(z) is constant,
the correlation length increases as q.p. move along the trajec-
tory.
For a focused beam propagating in free space, the q.p.
at z = 0 are distributed in , space with a maximum along
an axis deviating from the = 0 axis as shown in Fig. 35.

One observes that the q.p. density reaches a maximum at aplane z = zf, when those q.p. with larger density reach the
center line E = 0. i.e. the axial intensity is maximum at
the focal distance zf. The conservation of the total num-
ber of q.p. in free space then implies a reduction of the
correlation length from z = 0 to z = zf. As the q.p. flow
moves beyond the focal point, those q.p. with lower density
move to the center and the axial intensity decreases as z
increases; Correspondingly, this implies an increase in the
correlation length.
For a wave propagating in a random medium characteri-
zed by the structure function H( t), one just simply leads
to a decay of the wave field in the K , space as depicted
in Fig. 36. The structure function acts as an "absorber"
which absorbs part of the q.p. according to its strength.
For z >0, Fig. 37 depicts for a collimated beam at z = 0,
how the q.p. move in a random medium characterized by H(E ).As z increases those q.p. with smaller density move toward
the center while some of them are absorbed by the structure
function. The resluting q.p. density at E= 0 is decreased
and is smaller than in the case of free space. One notes
that the total number of q.p. is not conserved in this case.
The ratio of Ns(z) and I(O,z), which determines the correla-
tion length 1, will decrease as z increases for the strong
turbulent case; however, in the weak turbulence case, it will
first decrease and then increase as z increases at least for
a short distance (Note that the q.p. at K = 0 will never
move). For the case of a focused beam propagating in a ran-
dom medium, one depicts the q.p. flow thru a random medium
characterized by'H( E ) as in Fig. 38.
Because of turbulence in the medium, the q.p. withlarger density are absorbed before reaching the center E = 0.

As a result, the q.p. density at 0 creates a maximum as a
result of q.p. which initially have less density. Thus, the
focal length (zf) is smaller compared to the free space case.
The correlation length in this case is reduced from z 0 to
z = zf. Beyond the focal point, the q.p. density, at = 0,
is reduced and the ratio of Ns(z) and I(0,z), which yields 1,
will again decrease for the strong turbulent case or decrease
and then increase, as z increases at least for a short dis-
tance, for the weak turbulent case.
The qualitative discussion presented above is suitable
for an arbitrary random field. The form of the structure
function H( E.) will determine the q.p. density profile. To
illustrate this effect, we will present some numerical re-
sults for a wave propagating in a random medium characterized
by the spectrum (C). Fig. 39a depicts the q.p. density func-
tion at x = 0 in E -space, i.e. M(O, gE , z), for the case of
collimated beams propagating in a turbulent medium with spec-
trum (C). We choose the parameters GCTR = 3, GWID = 0.2,GAMP = 0.3 and p = 4. One notes that the axial intensity
decreases as z increases and the deformation of M(O, E , z)
reflects the behavior of the decay field. The normalized
correlation function, WPE is shown as a function of z
in Fig. 39b. The area under each curve represents the corres-
ponding correlation length 1. For I'= 10, which represents
a strong turbulent case, one sees that the correlation width
decreases as z increases.
The corresponding phenomena for the focused beam case
is displayed in Fig. 40a and 40b. One notes the focusing and
defocusing effects in Fig. 40a and the associated curves for
the normalized MCF in Fig. 40b.

obtaining 2 point statistics especially for numerical evalua-
tions. The exact solution of the Mutual Coherence Function
for the case H( E ) = a t2 is solved and presented in section
II. For an arbitrary spectrum, a numerical scheme has been
used to evaluate the S function as shown previously in section
III.
For simplicity the above analysis has been limited to
the two (zx) dimensional case. The extension to three dimen-
sions is straightforward but requires more computation. For
a random medium which is inhomogeneous in z, one simply adds
a z dependence to the H function in equation (3.55) and all
of the calculational procedures will then be eunchanged.

Equation (4.6) and (4.7) together with the boundary conditions
on M4 at z = 0 determine the corresponding fourth order statis-
tics of the field in the random medium. To date, no analytical
solutions have been derived for equation (4.6), except for the
special case H( E ) = a 1 2, which has been solved by Furutsu(13)
using functional techniques.
In section 2, we shall extend the "quasiparticle distri-
bution function" concepts to a 4-point correlation spectrum,
i.e. the Fourier transform of 4-point correlation function, to
obtain an analytical result for the case H( ) = a E 2. An
approximate solution for arbitrary power spectrum using 4-point.
Slow spectrum will be derived in section 3. In the last section
of this chapter, we will present a numerical scheme to solve the
fourth moment equation (4.6) for an arbitrary power spectrum.

Equation (4.32) contains an extinction term H(r1 + )+H(r,- )which will reduce the quasiparticle distribution function whileredistributing it in kR , ? ,k, , r. space. The "scattering

complicated form of equation (4.32) makes it impossible to ob-
tain a solution in analytical form. We shall consider firstthe simplest case of a plane wave, for which obviously 7,M4 =0.
V7 M4 can also eliminated from the equation, ( ? is only aparameter) by setting it to zero because in this case,? = 0,

iJ M (rr'i,M, 2'r" ) ~ (2 )' * ("9" ) e(4.49)
Thus at z>O the value of M4 will be redistributed as descri-
ed by the above equation.
One also observes that due to the decay term, M4 will
decay to zero when z >> 1 for all rl and r2 except near
r, = 0, r, = 0. However, because of the diffraction term the
value of M4 near r, = 0 or r,= 0 will be redistributed to all
other points (r, , r. ) where f(r, , r, ) = 0. Therefore one
observes that M4 will decay to zero for large distance z unless
M4 is of the form (cf. Lee and Jokipii, 68,69.)

After the wave leaves the random slab with thickness z, and
propagates in the free space region, we have the differential
equation:

However, M2 appearing in equation (4.46) now takes the form

real and imaginary components by writing M4 = MR "f-M.. One

To obtain a unique solution of eq. (4.65), one must specify the
boundary condition at z = 0 and the boundary conditions given
by equation (4.46), (4.47). In practice, we cannot apply the
boundary conditions at r1 , r3 -- @0 because this would re-
quire an infinite number of mesh points. One can simply trun-
cate at appropriately large values of r, , r. . The numerical

where except near the neighborhood of r, and/or r= 0. The
redistribution phenomena, caused by the 2nd term (diffraction
term) in equation (4.64), forces the points near r, and/or
r z = 0 "move" to the decaying region. Therefore, if the evo-
lution continuous to a large distance, the final field will
tend to reach a steady state as shown by equation (4.55).
However, we are not interested very large distance propaga-
tion in this paper. The extend of the normalized in random
slab will be choosen such that L = 0.24 and take the solution
will be evoluated at z = z', whence the wave will continue to
propagate from the bottom of the slab to the ground. Fig.4548 depict the free space propagation at z = 0.4275, 0.6525,
0.8775 and 1.1025. The diffraction effect, resulting from
the interference of the distorted wave front, tends to focus
and defocus the field. This focusing and defocusing phenome-
na will only occur for strong turbulence case, which will be
shown clearer in next chapter.
VI. Discussion and Conclusion
The 4 point slow quasiparticle distribution function,
defined as the 6 dimensional Fourier transform of the 4 point
correlation function w.r.t. the slow coordinates R and r., is
used to obtain the 4 point wave statistice. Pictures of the
slow q.p. flow are essentially the same as those in the 2point correlation case except we are now dealing with a four
dimensional phase space kg , R, kv , r, . An individual slow
q.p. moves along the trajectory defined by eq. (4.13) with"momentum" kR in the F direction and kr in the r1 direc-tion. The structure function is, in general, dependent not
noly on the "coordinates" and r2 but also dependent on the

variance of intensity, i.e. S4 =41 -<1U/, can then be
obtained from the S function using eqs. (4.73) and (4.74). As
an illustration, we shall calculate the 1st and 2nd moments of
intensity and the associated S4 for the case H( ) = a E, using
the S function. Fig. 49 and 50 depict<I),41I2and the corres-
ponding S4 for a collimated beam propagating in a random medium
characterized by H( t ) = a twith a = 1 and a = 5 respectively.
(In the following figures, curve 1 stands for 41>, curve 2 for
<J2> and curve 3 for S4 .) One observes that both <I> and (Z1>
decrease as z increases, while the scintillation index increa-
ses monotonically with z. The case of a focused beam propagat-
ing in a random medium is represented in Figs. 51, 52 wither=
o= 1, a = 1 and 5 respectively. Focusing and defocusing' <^2
effects in (Z)and <Iare clearly revealed in these figures.The scintillation index is greater in the case of collimated
beams in the range z < 2, approximately; for z > 2, focused beams
display a smaller scintillation index than the collimated beams.
One thus concludes that for short distance propagation, a colli-
mated beam is to be perferred while a focused beam is perfer-
able for long distance wave propagation in a random medium.
In ionospheric propagation, we are interested in finding
the received signal intensity and its associated S4 at ground
level. A deterministic wave signal is randomly modified by theionosphere and when the resulting modulated wave front enters
the free space, between a random ionospheric slab and the gr-
ound, diffraction modifies the wave statistics. In order to
show this effect we present results for 4 I.> , < and S4 .
Figs. 53 and 54 depict the case ar = 1, a =5 with the thick-
ness of the random slab being L = 0.25 for collimated beams
and focused beams respectively. One observes that the focused
beam displays saturation at z 2 0.75, where z measures the dis-

tance from the bottom of the random slab to the receiver. For
z smaller than approximately 1.8, the collimated beam yields a
greater S4 than the focused beam. However, as z 1.75 the fo-
cused beam displays a smaller S4 . Figs. 55 and 56 for a = 10
display the same effects. One obtains a higher scintillation
index and observes a saturation at z t 0.75 for the focused
beam case. It is of interest to plot S4 vs. z for different
turbulent levels in the ionospheric slab. Figs. 57 and 58 de-pict S4 vs z for a = 2 to 16, in steps of 2, for the collimated
beam and the focused beam, respectively. One observes that,
for the focused beam, S4 always saturates at z = 0.75. At z v1.75 the focused beam start to display a higher scintillation
index than the collimated beam.
When the slab thickness increases to 0.5, the random wave
fields emerging from the bottom of the ionosphere are increas-
ingly more turbulent. The corresponding S4 in this case is high-A A2
er than for the case L = 0.25. Figs. 59-62 depict .4I> 4iz >and S4 vs. z for a = 5 and 10 respectively ; one observes that
the focused beam saturates at z L 0.6 approximately. The focu-
sed beam has a smaller S4 than the collimated bean in the rangez greater than 1.5. The influence of the turbulent strength a
on the scintillation index is shown in Fig. 63 and Fig. 64 for
a collimated beam and a focused beam , respectively. The valueof a ranges from 2 to 16 in steps of 21 one notes that at z 2
0.6 the scintillation index of a focused beam saturates for all
values of a. At a distance z T 1.5 the focused beam starts
to have a smaller S4 for all values of a.
The wave front of the wave emerging from the bottom ofthe random slab is greatly dependent on slab thickness. As a
comparison, we present calculations of S4 vs. z for different
values of thickness ranging from L = 0.125 to 1 with increments

L increases. The distance at which the focused beam displays
a greater S4 than the collimated beam decreases as L increases.
The approximate solution for the 4th moment M4 is pre-
sented in Section III. In (4.43), we have replaced the true
slow q.p. distribution function S( z, r1 , kr- k') on the
right in (4.41) by the initial unattenuated q.p. distribution
function S( 0, r2 , k - k'). It is expected that the solution
so obtained will give an exaggerated result for the intensity
fluctuation. To illustrate this fact, we shall calculate thescintillation index for the plane wave case and compare it
with the exact solution obtained numerically. The random slab
will be characterized by a power law spectrum with p = 4. Fig.
67 depicts the scintillation index calculated from the approxi-
mate solution (4.43) for the cases L = 0.06, 0.12, 0.24. The
general behavior of scintillation index agrees with its well
known feature. Fig. 68 shows the comparison of the approxima-te solution (solid line) with the exact solution (dash line).
As expected, one observes an overestimated intensity fluctua-
tion in the approximate solution.
Boundary conditions and the steady state solution arediscussed in Section 4. We have applied these boundary con-
ditions in the numerical evaluation of the 4th moment as pre-
sented in Section 5. The general solution of S4 is too compli-
cated for computation. In section 5, we computed the solutionof M4 for a special case wherein the 4 points x1 , x1 ', x2 ,
lie along a straight line on the z = constant plane. The nu-
merical evaluation of M4, for a plane wave propagating thru
a random slab with L = 0.24 and characterized by a power lawspectrum with p = 4, is presented in Section 5 for z = 0.4275,
0.6525, 0.8775 and 1.1025(Fig. 45-48). One observes that as
the field evolution is continuous by extrapolated to a largedistance, the final field will tend to reach a steady state as
shown by eq. (4.55).

II. Numerical Solution of Scintillation Index for Arbitrary
Power Spectrum
In our computation, we shall first choose a Gaussian
power spectrum. The corresponding correlation function is
also Gaussian. The main reason for choosing such a spectrum
is to check with the results obtained from the thin phase
screen approximation (4). For the Gaussian spectrum, the
7(r1 ,r,) in equation (4.63) is given by

2. (5.12)
Using (5.12) in the numerical calculation to obtain the scin-tillation index, we shall present some computational results.Fig.69 depicts the behavior of the scintillation index as a
function of z (from the bottom of slab to the receiver) for
the case"(= 10. Curves 1,2,3 correspond to slab thickness
L = 0.06V 0.12, 0.24 respectively. For L = 0.06, corresponds
to a thin phase screen, we observe that S4 increases monoto-
nically with z, and finally reaches a constant value. The
results agree very well with the thin phase screen theory.
As L increases, corresponding to a thick random slab, the
scintillation index grows. One notes that a focusing pheno-
menon occurs when L = 0.24, the scintillation index reaches
a maximum before it settles to some saturation level.
It has been indicated that, in the thin phase screen th-
eory, focusing occurs only in the strong turbulence case(rms
phase fluctuation =M4L in our case). Our results shows the
same behavior and should be better, since we take into ac-
count the thickness of the slab.
Scintillation index curves as a function of z for the
case L = 0.06 with different values of or , equal to 5, 10,
30 are shown in Fig.70. The curve on the top indicates that
a focusing behavior appears for strong turbulence case even
though the random slab is very thin.

below the slabe and become smaller at large distance. Fig. 76
shows the scintillation index vs. for case (b) with L = 0.12
and = 5 (lower curve), r = 15 (higher curve). The distinc-
tion between strong and weak turbulence is obviously related
by the focusing phenomenon. The Von-Karmann spectrum with an
addition Gaussian bump greatly changes the behavior of scin-
tillation index and is shown in Fig.77. Curve 1 depicts the
case k = 3,'r= 5, L = 0.12 and curve 2 displays the case k = 2,= 5, L = 0.12. One concludes that the location of the Gau-
ssian bump has a significant effect on the scintillation index.
The focusing behavior occurs more than once in both curves,
which indicates the additive bump increases the distortion of
the wavefront emerging from the bottom of the slab. Fig. 78
ccj pares the different behavior of the scintillation index
for the case (b) and case (c) and for the parameters r = 15,
k = 2, L = 0.12. Focusing occurs in both curves. At J- ,
spectrum (c) has a larger S4 than spectrum (b). Fig. 79 de-
picts the behavior of S4 for case (c) with k 2 and 0= 5, 15
respectively. One notes that even for O= 5, the scintilla-
tion index vs. z shows a focusing phenomenon which is not
observed in case (b) with 7= 5. This apparently indicates
that the additive Gaussian bump causes a strong scatteringeffect. In order to show the effect of the power index P, we
observe, for the case L 0.24, ke Lg<E>= 35.44, the scintilla-
tion index vs. z for p = 4 and p = 11/3 as displayed in Fig. 80,
the solid line being for p = 4 and the dash line for p = 11/3.
One finds that the scintillation index vs. z has the same cha-
racter in both cases but increases with the larger power index.

III. Application and Discussions
A power spectrum, obtained from the Atmospheric Explorer
- E (AE-E) satellite in situ measurements (70), is used to
calculate the corresponding S4 for the night time equatorial
scintillation. The variance of N/19 is estimated to be 0.207.
We have normalized the power spectrum such that the integral
of the fluctuation powerS (k) dk over the observed frequency
range is equal to Z(N/N)2 >. For computational purposes, we
assume a flat spectrum for irregularity wavelength greater
than 5 km and truncate the high frequency tail for irregularity
scales smaller than 0.4 km. The resulting power spectrum is
depicted in Fig. 81. In order to compare the theoretical model
with the experimental results, we have chosen an incident wave
frequency 137 MHz, f-o = .9 MHz and 1 = 600 m such that the
parameter Or= 1/4 ko 12A(0) in equation (4.65) is equal to
52.73. The propagation distance z is normalized to -103 km ;i.e. measures distance in 103 km.
Radar observations suggest that the ionosphere can be
replaced by a random slab with an effective thickness -200 km.
The distance from the bottom of the random slab to the ground
is taken to be about 300 km. Applying these parameters to the
defining equation for the fourth moment and using the numerical
scheme described in Appendix 6, one obtains a plot of the scin-
tillation index vs. z as shown in Fig. 82. A scintillation
index as high as 0.35 is predicted at the bottom of the random
slab. As the wave leaves the random slab and propagates in
free space, diffraction phenomena develop. The scintillation
index increases, passing through a maximum value at a distance
-250 km from the bottom of the slab, and then saturates. At
ground ( z = 300 km from the bottom of the slab), one obtains
a scintillation index of 1.14, which corresponds to a peak to

[peak fluctuations of approximately 32 dB.
Experimental results obtained by S. Basu et al. indicate
a scintillation index of 0.6 at 137 MHz, which is lower than
our analytical results. For a density fluctuation of 20% in
the equatorial region, the experimental value, S4 = 0.6, seems
a little lower than expected. In private communication from
Dr. Basu, he has informed us that his experimental result may
be too low because of instrument saturation.
Possible explanations of this discrepancy might bet
(1) The dynamic range of VHF receivers are limited to about
16 dB - 25 dB. A scintillation index as high as 1.14,
corresponding to peak to peak fluctuations of 32 dB, is
beyond the capacity of such receivers.
(2) The in situ power spectrum was obtained at an altitude of
250 km. By extrapolation to magnetic field conditions at
the scintillation measurement site, Basu et al. suggest
an ionospheric structure -200 km in extent about 300 km
above the earth. The accuracy of this model assumption
is not evident.
(3) In our theoretical work, we have assumed a flat spectrum
for X >-5 km and have truncated the tail of the power
spectrum for A14 0.4 km. This assumed power spectrum is
also a possible source for The above discrepancy.
(4) From the investigation in section II, one concludes that
S4 increases as the thickness of the random slab increases.
In the numerical evaluation, we have assumed the thickness
of the random slab to be -200 km which may be larqer than
![Page 178: SEP 8 WU N0001-76-C-0176 POLY-MRI-1410-80 NL ... · DvdM/Wu '52 11. PROaA LMENT. PROJECT.

- 160 -
the real effective thickness of the ionospheric slab.
In spite of the above discrepancy, one notes that the
numerical results for the case of a Gaussian power spectrum
are in good agreement with the results obtained by Mercier
(4). For the case that L = 0.06 which corresponds to the
thin phase screen case, one obtains a saturated S4 which
agrees with the value, S4 = 1 - exp(-2 .L), obtained by Mer-
cier (4). Our numerical scheme provides better agreementwith thin phase screen theory than the scheme proposed by
Liu et al. (60). Therefore, the proposed propagation model I tand numerical scheme should also provide satisfactory results
for the case of an arbitrary power spectrum. The only real
difficulties are proper location of the random slab and es-
timation of its effective thickness.
For further study, we shall apply the theory and numeri-
cal scheme presented herein to the multiple frequency, multi-
dimensional, inhomogeneous, etc. cases. Consideration of an
anisotropic power spectrum and of regime represent nonlinear
effects in the strong scattering areas for future investiga-
tion and may provide further insights for the theory of iono-
spheric scintillations.

If n obeys a Gaussian statistics with a distribution func-
tion of the form: -cm) Ae
one finds that all expansions described above lead to poor
convergence. As an example, we calculate the 1st, 2nd and
3rd approximations for expansion c and depict it in (Fig.3).
Let us observe the exact solution of G for equation (A2.15),
when n is Gaussian, we have
2.
As a power series expansion, one writes
If the series is truncated after a finite number of terms,
we have
The "secular" behavior of G in this case explains somewhat
why "momen' expansions for Gaussian statistics are not
suitable.
Consider a Gaussion statistics truncated at tial namely:
(n) A e- ( 0') 7The results of numerical calculations of Vc are shown in
Fig. 4 - Fig. 6. One observes that the convergence of the
series expansion is dependent on the ratio C/<ii>
where <7t > denotes the variance of '. For Fig. 4 to Fig. 6,
we use a1%;2' =4.59796, 3.62336, 3.05054 respectively, and
find that a smaller ratio gives a better convergence.

APPENDIX
The limit of application of the Markov approximation
Let us consider corrections to the Markov approximation
when a finite radius of correlation in the propagating direct-
tion is taken into account. Let 9(3,?) be a sharp peaked
function of the argument 3-j' and < (5)i("''> =V.
The parabolic equation for the random field LA.(L,) is
written as:
LA (Sf 2 A%

Taking the Fourier transform of eq. (A3.1) with respect to
and averaging, one obtains
0%0- + < A.(3ff> -. (A3.2)
Applying the renormalized series expansion described in
Appendix 1, we have
If the correlation length in the z direction is very small
such that the 1st term in the series expansion of eq. (A2.1)
dominates, we can approximate (A3.3) as followings

APPENDIX 4
In Appendix 2, we examined several expansions for VcG
and used numerical methods to test their convergence. We
assumed that the imaginary part of G was very small compared
to its real part, i.e. G is approximately real. This is not
generally true. Hence all of the results in Appendix 2 only
apply to ranges wherein G is real.

Conclusions
For a r.v.v with a uniform distribution the approxima-
tion procedure displays quite good convergence.
(b) For the case that 7 obeys a Gaussian statistics, one ob-
tains for the even moments of V:
ZV )= 1 3 5 ... (2n-1) Zv 2>
Substituting these moments into (A4.7), (A4.8) and apply-
ing the same technique as in (a), we can evaluate k as
a function of B. The results are shown in Fig. (A4.7).

Conclusions

convergence. However, we shall consider some other obser-
vation before making any definite conclusions.

We shall compare the real and img. parts of VcG for the 1st,
2nd and 3rd approximations, respectively, with the exact re-
sult.

curve (3) = absolute value of VcG
The above observations show that one can not get a good
approx. for VcG by taking a finite number of terms in eq.
(A4.6) for a Gaussian statistics. We conclude that the
"moment" expansion for VcG is not suitable for a Gaussian
statistics.
For the case that V is uniformly distributed over the range
from -0.5 to +0.5, we plot VcG both exactly and for several
approximations, viz,
Fig. A4.14: (exact result)

We observe that eq. (A4.6) provides a rapidly convergent
series expansion for VcG when V obeys a uniform statistics.

APPENDIX 5
Limits of Application of The Parabolic Equation
The parabolic equation differs from the complete scalar wave
equation by a term a u/z . If one treats e u/ as a
small perturbation term and writes

higher moment case, the calculation is quite complicate. For
example, in the 2nd moment case, one considers the corrections
