Intensive development of the radar method of investigating meteors and connected phenomena in the Earth's atmosphere required studying interaction of radio waves with ionized meteor trails. Approximate solutions of the problem of radio reflection by ionized meteor trails have been obtained in a number of papers (Feinstein, 1950; Herlofson, 1951; Kaiser and Closs, 1952; Manning, 1953, 1963; Eshleman, 1955; Brysk, 1958, 1959).
