We consider phenomena connected with the motion of one vortex in a long Josephson junction placed in an alternating electromagnetic field. We show that under certain conditions the vortex radiates electromagnetic energy to both sides of the junction, and the radiation frequency is in general not equal to the external frequency applied to the junction, i.e., a single vortex plays the role of a frequency converter. The presence of a threshold rate of vortex radiation leads to resonant singularities on the current-voltage characteristic of the junction.
