Parametric coupling of a high-frequency electromagnetic wave to whistler and lower-hybrid waves in the ionosphere
- Department of Physics, Indian Institute of Technology, Delhi, New Delhi 110016 (India)
Parametric coupling of a high-frequency electromagnetic wave to an obliquely propagating whistler or lower-hybrid wave and a high-frequency sideband electromagnetic wave have been studied in the ionosphere. The growth rate of the three-wave resonant interaction process decreases with the frequency of the lower-hybrid wave and increases with whistler wave frequency. Growth rate is greater for the whistler wave than the lower-hybrid wave. The electromagnetic wave is scattered at a larger angle in the case of the lower-hybrid wave than the whistler wave. {copyright} {ital 1996 American Institute of Physics.}
