N2 - The problem of linear mode conversion in a weakly inhomogeneous medium is posed and solved by phase-space methods. The PDEs for the two coupled modes are transformed to a simple first-order ordinary differential equation by a canonical transformation, wherein the two dispersion functions become essentially a locally conjugate pair of coordinates.
