Suppressing amplitude fluctuations of the wave propagating in a randomly inhomogeneous medium

We suggest using spatial processing of the wave field with the aid of the double (in source and observer coordinates) weighted Fourier transform (DWFT) to suppress amplitude fluctuations (amplitude scintillations) during wave propagation in a randomly inhomogeneous medium. We examine the influence of sizes of receiving and transmitting antenna systems on the efficiency of the spatial processing in suppressing scintillations for both weak and strong intensity fluctuations. We demonstrate that the efficiency of the suppression of amplitude fluctuations by the inverse DWFT depends on the excess of sizes of fan beam projections of receiving and transmitting antenna systems over the Fresnel radius in a region with irregularities.
