Calculated quantities, with the accountofrelativepositionoftheobservationpointand thegenerationregion, permit one toexplain themain featuresof theobservedspectrum.Thereasonsfor two maxima in the dependence of the growth rate on frequencyandthecorrespondingtwo-bandstructurein theobservedspectrumarediscussed.
