Abstract :
Theoretical and experimental results of incoherent scattering are discussed within the context of the phenomenon of radio-wave scattering by spatial fluctuations in electron density. Emphasis is placed on the concepts involved in measuring properties of the upper ionosphere, such as electron density, temperature, electron drifts, and the strength and direction of the magnetic field
