The authors have theoretically investigated the current steps in the I-V characteristics of a long Josephson tunnel junction driven by microwaves at frequencies near its geometrical resonance. For this purpose they use a numerical computation algorithm based on a lossy transmission line model of the Josephson tunnel junction to calculate the d.c. current density distribution. In addition to the fundamental microwave frequency, harmonic contents of the tunneling current are also considered. The calculations show a strong asymmetric behaviour of the current steps with respect to the quasi particle curve. Their detailed studies imply that the excitation of higher harmonic waves gives rise to these anomalous microwave induced steps. Due to the non-uniform d.c. tunneling current density distribution the amplitudes of these current steps are not usually larger than 10% of the critical current. As in long junctions the critical current is in the order of milliamps, these amplitudes are considered relatively large.
