This book introduces the theory behind the incoherent scattering of electromagnetic waves (radar waves) by free electrons-a key technique for studying critical parameters of the Earth's ionosphere. Starting with scattering by statistically independent electrons, including magnetized cases, the book progressively develops a comprehensive model. This framework is extended to include 'dressed particles', accounting for long-range Coulomb interactions between charged particles. A consistent approach to incorporating particle collisions is presented, with an example of charge exchange interactions for illustration. Appendices provide essential background material, ensuring the content is accessible to readers.
