文摘Pseudowaves, known as burst-ion signals, which are different from plasma normal modes, exist frequently in ion- wave excitation experiments when launching the waves by applying a pulsed voltage to a negatively biased grid.

These pseudowaves originate from two ion groups： the burst of the beam ions and the burst of the background ions. It was observed that the burst of the background ions was in the case of high ion beam energy, while the burst of the beam ions was in the case of low ion beam energy.
