An experimental investigation of the propagation characteristics of longitudinal waves in plasma‐filled waveguides is described. Two distinct modes of propagation are observed, corresponding to whether the discharge is in the normal or abnormal glow region. The normal glow, or “lower mode”. exhibits completely different propagation characteristics from those of the abnormal glow or “higher mode.” The characteristics of both types of propagation are fully discussed.
