Abstract

An analytical method is developed permitting to obtain rather simple expressions for calculating, with a small error, the maximal frequency of reflection of a decameter wave from the spherically stratified ionosphere — depending on the angle of incidence of the wave on the reflecting layer, altitude of layer’s lower boundary, and half-thickness.
