We present the results of the researches of multifractal small-scale ionosphere turbulence structure using the multi
fractal analyses of the amplitude fluctuations of artificial satellites signals. Found significant differences in the behavior
of multi-indices of power spectra of the irregularities and the generalized multifractal spectrum of midlatitude
ionosphere turbulence for different clouds of electron density of ionosphere plasma with dimensions of 200
÷ 250 km, and within the clouds for local non-uniform structures with dimensions of 12 ÷ 15 km.
Keywords: ionosphere, multifractal structure, ionosphere turbulence, small-scale irregularities, radio waves, multi power specters
