Based upon a FLR-hydrodynamic formulation for high frequency waves in a collisionless plasma, we formulate the self-consistent, coupled set of ordinary differential equations whose solution gives the mode conversion of O- and/or X-waves at an angle to B0 to electron Bernstein waves (EBW) at the upper-hybrid resonance UHR layer occurring at the edge of an ST plasma.
