Abstract
This paper is devoted to the experimental investigation of a new class of s uperconducting microwave oscillators based on Cherenkov radiation from Jose phson vortices. Samples consisting of a long Josephson junction embedded in a dispersive transmission line with space-periodical inhomogeneities were fabricated and tested. We report observation of new resonances on the I-V c urve of the system and present the first radiation measurements in the 80 - 120 GHz frequency range.
