Abstract
The vector field radio waves scattered by regular tropospheric inhomogeneities at small scattering angles in the Fresnel diffraction field is discussed. It is shown that regular-inhomogeneity scattering in the form of a vertical dielectric-permittivity profile is significant for the beyond-the-horizon field level.

KEY WORDS: Fresnel zone, long-distance wave propagation, turbulence, troposphere, beyond-the-horizon field
