As is very well known, there are two different kinds of time structure of the individual pulses of pulsars. There are microstructures with time scales less than 1 ms and subpulse structures, the usual scale of which is of the order of 10 ms. Subpulses are a result of the radiation beam rotation and in many cases demonstrate some regularity of arrival phases. In contrast, microstructure looks rather like a short pulse of noise with random phases of micropulse appearance in the radio emission window of the pulsar. Because the appearance phases of micropulses are random in the pulsar period, it is very difficult to establish what the fundamental character of these micropulses is: are they a temporal variation of radio emission intensity or the result of narrow beam rotation?
