Parasitic excitation of ion Bernstein waves is observed from a Faraday-shielded fast wave loop antenna in the ion-cyclotron frequency range. Local analysis of the Vlasov--Maxwell equations demonstrates the role of the plasma density gradient in the coupling process. The effects of plasma density and of parallel wavenumber on the excitation process are investigated.
