Abstract
The transition and excitation phenomena of electromagnetic whistler wave was investigated. The refractive index was anisotropic and exhibited resonances at certain angles caused by electron inertia at frequencies below electron cyclotron and above hybrid frequency in magnetoplasma. The short wavelengths near the resonance angle contributed to radiation pattern of antenna. The single amplitude maximum along group velocity resonance cone angle was also measured at low densities.
