A theory is developed to describe the propagation of characteristic waves through an infinite slab of irregularities in a magneto-ionic medium. The theory makes use of the asymptotic Green's dyadic. The results show that mode conversion is possible through scattering from irregularities in an anisotropic background. Some special cases are discussed and an example is given.
Attempt to determine what effect the anisotropy of the background medium will have on the scattering of electromagnetic waves from ionospheric irregularities. A Green's function is used to solve the scattered power using a certain bistatic geometry. Since the medium is anisotropic, cross-mode scattering in addition to self-mode scattering is possible. Several examples are given.
