Abstract:
Dependence of the mean–square number of rays on a distance in the region behind a phase screen is obtained. The probabilities of single–, three–, and five–ray propagation are found using the average number of rays and their mean square. It is shown that the multiray propagation is manifested at distances much longer than the distance at which the strong intensity fluctuations of a wave start to manifest themselves.
