Abstract
A self-focusing modulation instability of whistler wave has been inves tigated in the frequency region of omega(ci) < omega << omega(ce). It is found that the ion term contribution should be taken into account. The results show that the necessary condition of instability depends o n the pitch angle of perturbation wave.
