The authors have analyzed accurate solutions of a system of abbreviated equations which describe the decay interaction of whistler waves with ion-cyclotron waves in magnetospheric plasma. The equations allow for longitudinal and transverse drift of wave packets. As a result of this analysis, they show that the modulation period of a whistle which is received near the earth's surface is determined by the velocity of the ion-cyclotron waves and by the magnitude of the initial signal amplitude.
