Magnetic cyclotron waves were discovered by the Cassini-Huygens spacecraft in Saturn's atmospheric torus’ magnetic layer. They are left-handed and propagate at a minor angle to the ambient magnetic field in most areas because their frequency is close to the frequency of the aqua ions. The ion cyclotron instability caused by Saturn's neutral cloud ions helps explain their formation. They can be classified as n = 2 mode fluctuations because of the ion-ring distribution. We planned the characteristics of these waves in advance of starting this project. Our dispersion growth rates are evaluated using kinetic method analysis as well. The results were calculated and explained for the exemplary values of the magnetosphere parameters suitable for Saturn. Another potential free energy source for ion cyclotrons is temperature anisotropy. Instead of the standard Maxwell distribution, a ring distribution is employed in this study. The focus of this research is EMIC waves’ oblique propagation in the magnetic field, which changes their temperature anisotropy, ion energy density, and propagation angle. The interaction of relativistic particles with ion cyclotron waves is also included in this extension. EMIC wave size decreases with the increasing density of particles, as shown by a numerical study. A comparison of planetary studies based on data from space plasma environments and magnetospheric systems produced these results.

During their respective missions, the spacecraft Voyager and Cassini measured several Saturn magnetosphere parameters at different radial distances. As a result of information gathered throughout the journey, Voyager 1 discovered hot and cold electron distribution components, number density, and energy in the 6–18 Rs range. Observations made by Voyager of intensity fluctuations in the 20–30 keV range show electrons are situated in the resonance spectrum’s high energy tail. Plasma waves in the magnetosphere can be used to locate Saturn’s inner magnetosphere’s plasma clusters, which are controlled by Saturn’s spin. Electromagnetic electron cyclotron (EMEC) wave ring distribution function has been investigated. Kinetic and linear approaches have been used to study electromagnetic cyclotron (EMEC) wave propagation. EMEC waves’ stability can be assessed by analyzing the dispersion relation’s effect on the ring distribution function. The primary goal of this study is to determine the impact of the magnetosphere parameters which is observed by Cassini. The magnetosphere of Saturn has also been observed. When the plasma parameters are increased as the distribution index, the growth/damping rate increases until the magnetic field model affects the magnetic field at equator, as can be seen in the graphs. We discuss the outputs of our model in the context of measurements made in situ by the Cassini spacecraft.
