This Letter deals with average drift of electrons, originating due to ioniz
ation of gas at low pressures by strong microwave field of TE mode in a lon
gitudinal static magnetic field. The electron drift close to the ECR is dem
onstrated to increase considerably downstream microwave propagation. The ph
enomenon may be used for rectifying of a microwave AC with its conversion i
