Abstract
We study voltage-biased superconducting planar d-wave junctions for ar bitrary transmission and arbitrary orientation of the order parameters of the superconductors. For a certain orientation of the superconduct ors the odd ac components disappear, resulting in a doubling of the Jo sephson frequency. We study the sensitivity of this disappearance to o rientation and compare with experiments on grain boundary junctions. W e also discuss the possibility of a current flow parallel to the junct ion.
