The interaction of a large‐amplitude disturbing wave with a thermally generated, highly ionized cesium plasma has been investigated using a small‐amplitude sensing wave as a probe. The subsequent interaction between the disturbing and sensing waves is related to the plasma electron temperature. The plasma was contained in a magnetic field of 500–1000 G and had an electron plasma frequency near 10 GHz and an electron gyromagnetic frequency around 2 GHz. The sensing wave was a 10 GHz plane wave of approximately 1.5 mW input power and the disturbing wave was 7.5 GHz plane wave of about 1.2 W peak power. Measurements of the sensing‐wave transmitted power were made using standard microwave techniques. A notch filter in the sensing‐wave receiving circuit reduced the scattered disturbing‐wave interference to an immeasurably low level. Langmuir probes were used to detect disturbing‐wave modulation and to measure plasma temperatures and densities. Measurements of the interaction were correlated with a solution of the Boltzmann transport equation for a perturbed Maxwellian distribution function with binary Coulomb collisions.
