We have measured he microwave dissipation at 10 GHz through the imaginary p
art of the susceptibility, chi " in a Bi2Sr2CaCu2O8 single crystal in an ex
ternal static magnetic field H parallel to the c-axis at various fixed temp
eratures. The characteristics of chi " (H) exhibit a sharp step at a field
H-step, strongly dependent on the amplitude of the microwave excitation h(a
lphac). The characteristics of h(alphac) vs. H-step, reveal he behavior exp
ected for the magnetic-field dependence of Josephson coupling.
