Experimental results were obtained that show a collisional drift instability in a bounded plasma column behaves like a classical Van der Pol oscillator. The plasma is produced by microwave heating at ECR and plasma density is varied periodically by amplitude modulation of the hf power at a modulation frequency close to the instability frequencv. The experimental results are in good agreement with a behavior or a Van der Pol oscillator for drive frequencies near the center frequency of the oscillator. (auth)
