Ionospheric scintillations in the turbulent collision magnetized plasma

Paper considers some aspects of the relationship between scintillation level of scattered radiation and anisotropic plasma irregularities in the collision turbulent magnetized plasma. Analytical calculations have been carried out using modify smooth perturbation method taking into account both diffraction effects and polarization coefficients of both ordinary and extraordinary waves. Scintillation level has been analyzed for different parameters characterizing anisotropic irregularities.
