A three velocity and one-space dimensional nonrelativistic electromagnetic particle simulation code employing the fast Fourier transform algorithm is described and used to simulate the amplification of electromagnetic radiation by an electron beam passed over a rippled static magnetic field. In the beam frame the rippled magnetic field looks like an intense electromagnetic pump and thus a parametric instability can be produced. In one case, it was observed that 30% of the beam energy was converted to electromagnetic radiation.
