The process of generation of upper-hybrid waves by electron beam with loss-cone distribution is considered. The necessary conditions of the double plasma resonance effect, which is considered to be one of the most probable formation mechanisms of the zebra patterns in the spectra of solar radio emission, are investigated. It is shown that this effect considerably affects excitation of waves by electrons with power-law energetic spectrum. Interpretation of observations and diagnostics of plasma for the April 21, 2002 event are performed. It is found that the zebra stripes consist of separate short pulses; there is a good correlation between the separate stripes (with a certain temporal shift). The conclusion about the impulsive mode of injection of energetic particles into the coronal loop is made.
