PACS number: 94.20.wsPurpose: Scattering of radio waves by a sound pulse in the atmosphere is investigated theoretically.Design/methodology/approach: The asymptotic of the scattered field in the approximation of the Fresnel diffraction is analyzed using the quadratic expansion of the phase and Gaussian directional patterns of radiating systems.Findings: It is shown that for small angles of backscattering the field is determined by the focusing effects.Conclusions: Explanation of the focus by “degenerate” saddle points of the studied integrand phase is suggested.Key words: waves scattering, oscillating integral, stationary phase, “degenerate” saddle pointManuscript submitted 23.11.2015Radio phys. radio astron. 2016, 21(1): 24-36REFERENCES1.
