5. Conclusions
[34] The performed studies make is possible to conclude on the degree of the
influence of a local irregularity at the waveguide wall on radio wave
propagation. The main goal of this paper is to give to an experimenter a
possibility to estimate the scale of the expected changes in the amplitude
and phase of the attenuation function. The analysis of the presented graphs
shows at what parameters the obtained variations of the field are significant
and can be detected experimentally. The study of the dependence of the
irregularity on the propagation path orientation relative the geomagnetic
field, properties of the underlying surface, location of the irregularity and its
geometrical dimensions is performed.
The analysis of the
presented figures demonstrates the existence of the field scattered,
not only forward, but the backscatter, as well, obtained on the basis of the
theoretical calculations, allows us to expect its experimental registration.
