Pulsed radio emission has been detected from several from rapidly rotating ultra cool dwarfs (UCD's). The pulses are short-duration, highly circularly polarized, have a pulse period approximately equal to the stellar rotation period, and a phase that depends on frequency. These characteristics can be explained by cyclotron maser instability (CMI) emission from the polar regions of a co-rotating magnetosphere that is obliquely oriented w.r.t. the star's rotation axis. I present 3-dimensional ray-tracing results for CMI-generated radiation at the local cyclotron frequency that account for all major observed features of the pulsed emission.
