AbstractIt is shown that the phenomena of radio eclipsing can be explained by the linear mechanism of transformation of the transverse electromagnetic wave, propagating in the pulsar wind, into the plasma waves in the region of interaction of wind with a companion star atmosphere. The coefficient of the passingηdepends on the wave frequencyωby the exponential mannerη= exp{–const ·ω−1}. The estimated scale for the pulsar wind and star’s atmosphere density gradients are of the order of 100 meters. Such gradient can be obtained in the bow shock forming when the pulsar wind enters into the companion star atmosphere. Annihilation of the part of the wind’s positrons with the star’s electrons produces the electric current. This current generates the magnetic field from which the pulsar wind’s particles are reflected. The magnitude of the magnetic field in this shock of about several Gauss.
