An experimental analysis of the plasma impedance with respect to the coupling of ES (electrostatic) waves is described in this paper. The waves are excited through a slow-wave antenna and the experiment performed in a toroidal device [C. Riccardi {ital et} {ital al}., Plasma Phys. {bold 36}, 1791 (1994)]. The measured impedance is compared with a simple theoretical model for magnetized homogeneous plasma, in order to establish the presence of bulk or surface waves and of some nonlinear effects when power is raised. {copyright} {ital 1995} {ital American} {ital Institute} {ital of} {ital Physics}.
