The plasma mechanism of radio emission generation in an inhomogeneous medium is investigated. In the model under study, the electron beam with loss-cone distribution generates upper-hybrid waves that, in turn, are transformed into radio emission. It is shown that the influence of the plasma density inhomogeneity limits the plasma waves’ intensity considerably due to variation in their wave vector. The results are used to interpret the intermediate drift (IMD) bursts. A model is proposed in which these bursts are reflections of propagating small-scale (with amplitudes of about 1% and sizes of hundreds of kilometers) magnetohydrodynamic (MHD) disturbances of magnetic tubes. It is shown that this model allows us to explain the spectral parameters of the bursts in question. At present, the lack of precise and independent data about the magnetic field does not allow us to decide definitively between the existing models (whistler or MHD waves) of the IMD bursts; nevertheless, if the proposed model is correct, it can be used to determine the characteristics of the coronal MHD waves.
