Vlasov equation is solved for trapped particles with both the bi- Maxwellian and bi-Lorentzian distribution functions accounting for the cyclotron and bounce resonances. New transverse permittivity elements are expressed by the summation of bounce-resonant terms including the double integration in velocity space, the resonant denominators, and the phase coefficients. To have some analogy with the linear theory of cyclotron waves in the straight magnetic field, we assume that the n-th harmonic of the electric field gives the main contribution to the n-th harmonic of the current density, and the connection of the left- and right-hand waves is small. In this case, the dispersion equations for cyclotron waves have the simplest form and are suitable to annualise the instabilities of both the electron- and ion-cyclotron waves accounting for the bounce resonance effects. 1. Introduction and plasma model Cyclotron waves are an important component of the magnetospheric environment. As is well known, the energetic particles (electrons, protons, heavy ions) with a
