Abstract
A series of experiments has been performed in which the mechanism for the excitation of linear and nonlinear ion-acoustic waves from a structure consisting of two large parallel fine-mesh grid structures are considered. It is observed that the structure will launch a burst of ions through a velocity modulation mechanism if the two grids are sufficiently close together. A klystron-bunching model that was proposed previously appears to be valid for this launching mechanism.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">></ETX>
