Abstract: 
We developed a new method for the study of wave disturbances (WD) in the upper mesosphere with the use of Kharkiv MF radar data. We present the theoretical foundations of the method and data processing procedure based on the spectral anlysis of the envelope amplitudes of the backscattered radio signals. The method is illustrated by a typical set of measurements, and the dependences of the WD statistical features on their period as well as on the level of magnetic activity are analysed.
