Abstract
An extraordinary wave is normally incident on a large volume magnetoplasma, then below the second gyroharmonic, conversion into short-wavelength Bernstein waves is observed near the upper-hybrid layer. Significant conversion efficiency is attained in the optimum conditions. In the high power incidence, considerable electron heating due to the converted wave is found to be localized in the mode-conversion region.
