Abstract

Within the tunneling Hamiltonian approximation Kramers-Kronig relations between the amplitudes j1,2 of the sine and cosine term in the Josephson current are derived. The spectral function ωj2(ω) determines the supercurrents dissipative response to external a.c.-voltages but has no definite sign. A generla proof is given, that nevertheless the total dissipation always remains positive.
