    Dipolarization front (DF) is a sharp boundary most probably separating the reconnection jet from the background plasma sheet. So far at this boundary, the observed waves are mainly in low‐frequency range (e.g., magnetosonic waves and lower hybrid waves). Few high‐frequency waves are observed in this region. In this paper, we report the broadband high‐frequency wave emissions at the DF. These waves, having frequencies extending from the electron cyclotron frequency fce, up to the electron plasma frequency fpe, could contribute ~10% to the in situ measurement of intermittent energy conversion at the DF layer. Their generation may be attributed to electron beams, which are simultaneously observed at the DF as well. Key Points Broadband high‐frequency waves are detected at the DF layer These waves are probably driven by the electron beams They could contribute ~10% to the intermittent energy conversion at the front
