Major Scientific Achievements
Properties of atmospheric waveguides and parametric devices have been
analyzed. Earth's atmosphere lensing effect was calculated, and the
global troposphere-ionosphere lens was assessed. Earth-ionosphere
waveguide eigenfrequency splitting under the influence of the
geomagnetic field was envisaged. The theory of fluctuations in
extremely low frequency wave band in the Earth-ionosphere waveguide was
developed. A space-time analogy between wave diffraction and radio
pulse
distortion in a dispersive medium was justified. The theory of
stability
of highly directive antennas was developed. The wave theory of
gravitational
lenses was developed. The self-gravitation of particles in the dusty
space
plasma has been analyzed.
List of publications contains more than 150 publications, which
includes 5 monographs.
