The dynamics of an electron beam is considered when the initial electron di
stribution is localized in a space region. Analysis is conducted for the pa
rameters of the beam and plasma that give radio emission. We demonstrate bo
th numerically and analytically that beam electrons propagate as a beam-pla
sma structure at large distances. The speed of the beam-plasma structure is
equal to half of the maximum velocity of the electrons involved in this st
ructure. The structure conserves the shape of the initial spatial distribut
ion of electrons. A plateau with a constant maximum velocity is formed at t
he electron distribution function in each spatial point.
