Abstract
A new technique of generating monochromatic phonons with an extremely high frequency resolution is presented. The ac-Josephson effect is used to generate tunable electromagnetic waves in the first place. These are then dissipated by disorder induced processes in the oxide of the junction. The resulting monchromatic phonons were analyzed by a stress tunable phonon spectrometer. The technique was applied to phonon spectroscopy of V**3** plus ions in Al//2O//3 whose zero field hyperfine splitting was resolved. This implies a frequency resolution of 2 multiplied by 10** minus **4 which may still be further improved.
