The parametric instability of ionospheric plasma in a field of intense radio waves in the meter range is discussed. In particular, the decay of high-frequency radio waves into Langmuir and transverse electromagnetic (i.e., stimulated Raman scattering) and into ion-acoustic and electromagnetic waves (i.e., stimulated Brillouin scattering) is considered. A calculation of the threshold fields and increments of perturbation growth number is presented for the case of waves emitted by ground-based transmitters. It is shown that when the amplitude of the transverse wave is not less than 20 V/m, more than half the energy of the original impulse is transferred to the scattered wave. The spectrum of signal scattering shows a red shift (relative to the frequency of the original signal) to frequencies of excited ion-acoustic waves. The form of the spectrum corresponds to those obtained in laboratory experiments.
