Properties of several plasma waves in a wavenumber space are investigated in a hot magnetized plasma. The properties are applied to investigate ray trajectories of radiated electromagnetic waves to an inhomogeneous plasma and mode conversion of the extraordinary mode into electrostatic cyclotron harmonic waves at the upper hybrid frequency layer. The wave fronts of the mode-converted cyclotron harmonie wave from the extraordinary wave are made clear. Furthermore, ray trajectories of radiated cyclotron harmonic waves and the mode-converted extraordinary mode are obtained.
