An oscillating magnetic field induces precession in a ferromagnet resulting in a ferromagnetic resonance (FMR) that is described by the Kittel formula for a homogeneous magnetisation. We extend the theory of FMR to the case of chiral magnets, i.e., ferromagnets with a Dzyaloshinkii-Moriya interaction, taking into account the effect of demagnetisation fields. In the so-called conical phase, we find two magnetic modes whose weights depend on the polarisation of the driving magnetic field. In the Skyrmion lattice phase, several magnetic modes exist; we find that the mode with the largest weight has a smaller resonance frequency than the ones of the conical phase. As the Skyrmions carry polarisation in insulating chiral magnets, the modes can also be excited electrically. We compare our findings to recent experimental results.
