Popis: For the first time, the three-step process (conversion-propagation-conversion) underlying gyroresonant reflection is analytically developed for two-dimensional geometry. Phase-space methods are used for the conversion of an incident magnetosonic wave field to a continuum of gyroballistic waves, for their propagation along guiding-center orbits in the poloidal plane of a tokamak, and for their conversion to the two-dimensional magnetosonic reflection field. The wave fronts and amplitude of that field are obtained explicitly.
