We investigate in this paper the behavior of transionospheric radio signals in the presence of irregularities with a power‐law spectrum. The roles played by multiple scattering and irregularity selection through the Fresnel filtering effect are delineated. The effect of competition between these two processes on the scintillation index and on the transverse correlation is discussed.
