Abstract
A model of the ionospheric MHD waveguide is considered that enables one, using fairly clear and simple equations, to describe the main physical features of the waveguide propagation of geomagnetic pulsations. The proposed model makes it possible to identify a number of ionospheric parameters, in terms of which the mode cutoff frequencies and the phase and group velocities of modes may be expressed.
