Abstract: Resonance absorption of p-polarized electromagnetic wave by mode conversion in magnetized inhomogeneous plasma is investigated numerically as external magnetic field is perpendicular to density gradient.Different from an unmagnetized inhomogeneous plasma,the mode conversion coefficient in a magnetized inhomogeneous plasma depends on a cooperation of the incident direction,the density gradient direction and the direction of external magnetic fied.

Key words: magnetized inhomogeneous plasma, electromagnetic wave, linear mode conversion, resonance absorption
