The propagation of an extraordinary wave in a weakly inhomogeneous collisionless magnetoplasma is first studied in the cold plasma approximation. As the cold plasma theory breaks down near the upper hybrid resonance, a fourth‐order warm plasma field equation is derived and its solutions obtained in integral form. Connection formulas based on the asymptotic expansion of the integral solutions by the method of saddle‐point integration are deduced. These connection formulas are then applied to the problem of mode conversion between extraordinary waves and electrostatic plasma waves across the upper hybrid resonance.
