An influence of anisotropy on phonon structure in d{sup 2}I/dV{sup 2}(V) curve was examined by direct solving of the Eliashberg equations. The studies include the s- and d- types of pairing symmetry as well as scattering on impurities. As is revealed the phonon structure in the second derivative remains isotropic and should be found at eV = {bar h}{omega} + <{Delta}> where {omega} is the phonon frequency and the effective gap <{Delta}> is close to the maximum value of {Delta}(k) in the case of strong anisotropy of energy gap {Delta}(k). The smearing of phonon structure could be taken into account by using a complex gap function {Delta}({omega} + i{Lambda}) in the Dynes` formula. The influence of the localized states on the phonon structure in d{sup 2}I/dV{sup 2} is discussed.
