Title: Generation of cyclotron harmonic waves in the ionospheric modification experiments
Abstract: In the present paper, the parametric decay instability of the pump X-mode into electron Bernstein wave (EBW) near second harmonics of electron cyclotron frequency and IBW at different harmonics (/spl omega/<n/spl omega//sub ci/; n=2,3,4) is examined. Expressions are derived for homogenous threshold, growth rate and convective threshold for this instability. Applications and relevances of the present investigation to ionospheric modification experiment in the F-layer of the ionosphere as well as during intense electron cyclotron resonance heating in the upcoming MTX tokamak have been given.<<ETX>>
