Abstract

The parameters of microwave plasma oscillations in the acceleration channel of an SPD-ATON stationary plasma thruster have been measured. There is a stable correlation between the microwave intensity, on the one hand, and the magnetic field configuration in the region of plasma acceleration and the formation of plasma flow detached from the channel wall, on the other hand. The experimental data agree with the notion about the contribution of the electron scattering on microwave oscillations to the anomalous transverse conductivity of plasma in the acceleration channel.
