Rytov theory combined with the ABCD ray matrix is used to analyzes the statistical property of a reflected wave from a retro-reflector caused by atmospheric turbulence. The covariance function and the scintillation index of the receiving field caused by the combined effect of the turbulence and the random shaking of the reflector array are deduced on the basis of the mutual statistical independence of the two kinds of effects. The aperture factor and the scintillation of a receiving aperture with a finite size are calculated, and those of the retro-reflector and the array are compared to prove that the array does not change distribution of the intensity fluctuation but amplifies the fluctuation by a factor of 2.
