Abstract: The fields produced by a Josephson vortex moving in a sandwich placed into an anisotropic dielectric are investigated. When the vortex velocity exceeds the velocity of light in the direction of the normal to the sandwich surface, Cherenkov emission of electromagnetic waves propagating from the sandwich to the bulk of the dielectric takes place. The Poynting vector of outgoing waves is determined. It is shown that the radiation directivity considerably depends on the degree of anisotropy in the permittivity. The radiation loss power of the vortex is determined, and the relation between the transport current and the vortex velocity is established.
