The response of thin films YBCO and BSCCO to microwave fields has been investigated. Some unexpected features have been observed and an explanation is given in terms of a robust fluxon lattice whose motion is correlated with the applied microwave field. The films, 8mmx8mm in area with average thickness 0.7μm were deposited by d.c magnetron sputtering (YBCO) or spray pyrolysis (BSCCO) on single-crystal MgO substrates. The differential resistivity of the film could also be measured as a function of bias voltage, by a lock-in amplifier technique.
