Characteristics of a category of tropospheric waveguides in line-of-sight microwave propagation

The characteristics of a specific tropospheric scheme are examined, in a search for a possible explanation of some field types recorded in microwave line-of-sight paths. We deal with a category of waveguides consisting of a homogeneous atmospheric slab bounded by stratified layers with plane interfaces. The obtained numerical results justify a type of recorded field, characterized by rapid fluctuations around a median near the free space level.
