Abstract

Numerous physical mediums can be modelled as turbulent magnetized plasma, for example, the solar corona, and the ionosphere. Scintillation effects on the intensity of electromagnetic beam wave propagating through magnetized plasma necessitate the introduction of a statistical distribution valid over a large range of scintillation conditions, and incorporating the plasma physical properties. Under some simplifying assumptions, such a theoretical model can be derived based on the Rytov solution, the external magnetic field variation, and the space permeating plasma electron density variation. The resultant wave intensity distribution is compared with the Lognormal, Rician, and the Nakagami distributions for different scintillations conditions. The work presented in this paper is applicable to the analysis and design of optical wireless communication links through the ionosphere and deep space plasma.
