 note = {This paper deals with the analytical study of the effect of fine structure of the lower ionosphere on the reflection of very low frequency radio waves. We consider the case of a plane whistler wave propagating in the vertical direction in the presence of a uniform magnetic field of the same direction. The lower ionospheric model adopted here is a bilinear (double linear) density profile as a kind of idealizations of the actual ionosphere. For the bilinear model, the frequency characteristics of reflection coefficient will be shown for several combinations of β1 and β2, which are the density gradients of the lower and upper layers. In these cases, conspicuous changes in reflection coefficient arise, being composed of the reduction in reflection coefficient at all frequencies and components which oscillate with frequency. Such oscillatory fluctuations with frequency may result from the wave interference effect between the penetrating and reflected waves in the lower layer.},
