Abstract :
A more accurate analytical expression for the reflection and transmission coefficients of an extraordinary wave incident upon a thin finite plasma slab perpendicular to a static magnetic field is obtained. The analytical result is compared with that obtained by the numerical method and with that of earlier experimental observations. The effect of small collisional damping on mode conversion, particularly at antiresonance is also discussed.
