Particle simulations were used to investigate the properties of electromagnetic radiation produced by the cyclotron maser instability in a source region which is localized in the direction perpendicular to the uniform magnetic field. In the procedure used, the simulation model of Pritchett and Strangeway (1985) for the generation of auroral kilometric radiation (AKR) along an auroral field line was modified to include inhomogeneities perpendicular to the magnetic field. The results are compared with the previous homogeneous simulations with regard to efficiency and saturation mechanism and with expectations based on the feedback model. The implications for the generation and propagation of AKR are discussed.
