The propagation of spectrally narrow spin-wave packets in ferromagnetic plates in the regimes of a finite-duration pulse or a stationary beam with bounded transverse dimensions is studied on the basis of linear-response theory. The corresponding model equations are obtained for the complex amplitude of the envelope of the packet, describing the effects of dispersion of the pulse and diffraction of the beam in an anisotropic medium to arbitrary order in the small spectral parameter. The character of the solutions is studied in the case of a cubic approximation to the dispersion law, and the conditions for the applicability of the parabolic equation usually employed in such problems are determined. The results of numerical and analytic study of the characteristic features of the evolution of the complex envelope are presented for packets of surface magnetostatic waves in a tangentially magnetized plate.
