We have studied the excitation of surface plasma waves during the propagation of a cylindrical electromagnetic wave in a layered plasma–dielectric medium. The dielectric—vacuum—plasma and vacuum–plasma–plasma layers have been considered. It is shown that no surface waves are excited by the cylindrical electromagnetic wave at the plasma–dielectric boundary (like in the case of a plane wave). A surface wave in a layered medium is excited in a quite narrow range of frequencies and angles of propagation. We have calculated the structures of the electromagnetic field and the electromagnetic energy flux and determined the integral reflection and transmission coefficients using both numerical an analytic asymptotic methods. It is shown that the contribution of the field from the lateral wave is negligibly small in all cases.
