The dispersion properties of ordinary surface cyclotron waves in a semiinfinite nonuniform plasma are investigated. The waves propagate across the external magnetic field directed along the plasma surface in a metal waveguide the internal surface of which is covered with a dielectric. The problem is solved analytically in the framework of a kinetic model for plasma particles under the assumption of weak spatial dispersion. The influence of the parameters of the dielectric layer separating the plasma from the metal wall, the shape of the plasma density profile, and the value of the external magnetic field on the dispersion properties of surface cyclotron waves is studied both numerically and analytically.
