The plasma produced by a high-power pulsed circularly polarized microwave field which is much weaker than atomic fields is investigated in the nonrelativistic limit. It is shown that the resulting electron distribution function is nonequilibrium and anisotropic. Furthermore, the general dispersion equation is derived and analyzed to study low-frequency ion oscillations. It will be shown that there is an instability in the aforementioned system only when the ion density exceeds a critical value.
