Abstract
The spatial correlation properties of the amplitude (amplitude level) of a wave existing in a random medium and at the exit from it are determined. It is shown that, within the framework of geometric optics, the oblique incidence of a wave on a refractive medium accounts for the anisotropy of the spatial correlation characteristics of the medium in the case of the statistical isomerism of the medium’s permittivity. Special attention is focused on the investigation of the reflection region where the geometric optics method is invalid.
