Malaga,

The theory describing the scattering of vhf radiowaves by anisotropic irregularities aligned along the earth's magnetic field is presented and applied to treat auroral scatter. Results showing the aspect sensitivity, polarization effects, antenna bandwidth effects and frequency dependence of auroral are presented.
