Abstract

The numerical analysis of the excitation of the Josephson junction (Jj) by an external electromagnetic field has been reported. The fully nonlinear approach requires using the quasiperiodic solutions of the sine-Gordon equation (sGe) which are expressed by the Riemann theta functions. Their local soliton approximation of the nondissipative Jj is presented. Using the self-consistent phenomenological model of a long Jj, the influence of the external electromagnetic field on the volt-ampere characteristics is considered.
