Abstract

The linear interaction between ordinary and extraordinary waves in two-dimensionally inhomogeneous magnetoactive plasmas in the electron-cyclotron frequency range is considered. Exact solutions of the reduced wave equation that describes the wave fields in the region of linear interaction are obtained. A procedure is determined for recalculating the fields that pass through and reflect from the transformation region. The field distributions in the transformed and reflected beams are studied analytically for various incident beams. The results may be considered as a solution of a new standard problem with a wide range of astrophysical and laboratory applications.
