A study is made of the nonlinear feedback of the ac tunnelling current (first pointed out by Josephson) in a superconducting tunnel junction via the electromagnetic fields radiated by the current into the resonantmode structure of the junction. The junction operating point is investigated, and a calculation is made of the dc current drawn by a strongly self-coupled fundamental mode together with weakly self-coupled harmonic modes. Attention is directed to the frequency dependence of the tunneling-current amplitudes reported briefly by Riedel, as tentative explanation of the bumps in current-voltage characteristics which have been observed at e V= 2 Δ (integer), where 2 Δ is the energy gap.
