Abstract

Amplitudes of electromagnetic waves with combination frequencies, radiating from a narrow inhomogeneous layer of the magnetoactive plasma due to interaction of the surface waves, are determined. The method used allows for discontinuity of the tangential components of the wave electric field at the combination frequencies at the plasma boundary.
