Abstract: | Wave-particle interaction in the ionosphere is studied theoretically for wave frequencies around the lower hybrid resonance (LHR) frequency. An expression is derived for the growth rate of whistler-mode waves propagating in a magneto-active plasma penetrated by a tenuous beam of nonthermal particles. This expression is an extension of that derived in a previous paper by employing the electrostatic dispersion equation; here, the full-wave dispersion equation is used which reduces to the electrostatic one for large values of refractive index. |
