Abstract Alfvén resonance in high beta plasmas is studied with a five-field model based on the two-fluid theory. The mode conversion and low frequency oblique whistler wave generation are found in the resonance layer. Properties of wave propagation, polarity, and interaction with charged particles are also investigated.
