Description

It is proposed that the fringing field of the Faraday screen of an ion--Bernstein wave antenna can couple to a short wavelength electrostatic mode and cause significant parasitic loading. The mixed boundary value problem is solved analytically and numerically. The characteristics of the resulting parasitic loading are described and relevance to experiments is described
