We suggest that an oscillating interface, carrying a steady current between a rotating, radiating, magnetic dipole and an external plasma is the source of pulsar radiation produced over a broad band of high frequencies (108–1018 Hz). The efficiency of the radiation mechanism is so high that the oscillation energy goes mainly into radiation in each cycle of the oscillation.
