Abstract
Modulational instability of the whistler-wave propagating oblique to the static magnetic field is discussed for a low- plasma. The instability conditions and the maximum growth rates are derived for both of the longitudinal and perpendicular modulation relative to the propagation direction of the whistler wave.
