... According to standard phase screen theory large values of the intensity indices correspond to focusing conditions. ... It has been found that focusing effects always occur in the multibeam reflection (glint interference) regime. ... Figure 1 . ... First of all, calculations show that multibeam regime arises under slightly larger values of (see the Table 1 ). ... Thus, in our case (reflection from the E layer, altitude about 100 km) focusing is quite possible already when multibeam regime arises. ...
