Abstract
Whistler mode wave phenomena observed in the earth’s environment and in the planetary magnetospheres, such as in the vicinity of the Jupiter, Venus, and Saturn are reviewed. Importance of ray tracing technique is stated in connection with the interpretation of these phenomena. A historical review of ray tracing technique is then given. Finally the most recent ray tracing technique, such as 3-D ray tracing in a non-dipolar background magnetic field model is introduced.
