The paper presents study of the influence of coronal inhomogeneities on the average temporal pulse profile of radio emission from a compact solar pulse source located near the photosphere of the Sun. To consider both scattering and refraction of the radio emission propagating through the solar corona an integral representation of the wave field in the form of the interference integral is used. Thus formation of regular and random caustics and focuses as well as multipath structure of the radio emission received on the ground are taken into account. A numerical simulation of the average pulse profile, carried out for different parameters of the solar corona turbulence has shown that near-solar plasma can distort the emitted pulse significantly to form several pulses.To search for other articles by the author(s) go to: http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abstract_service.html
