Sažetak
Investigation of the spatial evolution of nonlinearly coupled ion-acoustic waves propagating along a weakly collisional ECR plasma column in a magnetic field is reported. An ion-acoustic wave of frequency f1 or two waves of different frequencies f1 and f2 are launched by applying a sinusoidal voltage to a grid immersed in the plasma. An axially movable grid is used in determination of the damping and phase velocity of f1 , f2 and nonlinearly generated 2f 1 and f 1 - f2 waves. The measured spatial growth and decay are qualitatively in accordance with those obtained by nonlinear fluid theory of ion wave propagation.
