Popis: The multiple-scattering technique is extended to include the effects of simple collisions and a vertical magnetic field on the impulse response of a stratified cold plasma. In this case as in the free-electron case it is possible to formulate a multiple-scattering integral for the nth scattered field in terms of the (n – 1)th scattered field. The total response is the sum over all orders of scatter. By an appropriate convolution process it is possible to find the nth scattered field in the presence of collisions and a magnetic field from the corresponding scatter for the free-electron case. This method is used to find the response of an infinite region of exponentially increasing electron density and a half space of uniform electron density in the presence of collisions and a magnetic field.
