Abstract
We study the processes of formation of plasma-wave discharges in a magnetic field. It is confirmed experimentally that amplitude modulation of plasma-wave beams forming a discharge leads to excitation of electromagnetic fields that vary with the modulation frequency and travel at velocities close to the thermal velocities of electrons.
